Russia Invades Georgia

admin_wilpfnet — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 13:03:58 -0400

Russia has invaded Georgia. This is a bizarre situation with potentially serious energy and global stability implications. The president of Georgia was just on CNN calling for a halt to the violence and military actions. He wouldn't call for U.S. military action. He said there was no need for more military action. -Stephanie
