Somalia is LESS dangerous that Afghanistan, Iraq, and PAPUA NEW GUINEA????

For one thing, I though New Guinea was peaceful, just filled with a buch of islander type people who dont have very much technology but arent warlike at all.

At least Afghanistan has a gov't and Iraq has 135,000 US troops to protect you.

Somalia is complete anarchy. No police, no government, nothing. The world's only anarchy. Its sad really.

Well if georgia wont help us, there are other countries who will. We have bases in Qatar that are actually much closer to the Iraq nuke sites than Georgia. They'll just miss getting the money (and job opportunities, etc) that would have come if they gave us a base.

So much for Saakashvili's pro tourism campeign. To bad all those fountains don't feed the people, but the nifty orange ties he bought for the bus drivers are "cool".

Georgia is helping. They are sending military right now to Houston who will then go on to Afghanistan.

Georgia is a tiny country surrounded by militant islamics who are kidnapping children and adults on the borders now, sometimes sending body parts to families, often killing and torturing.

The people on the borders live substinance lives. They burn sticks to keep warm and kill sheep for food. Georgia is an agricultural country, and an extremely poor one.

He befriended a family living in a stone and mud house a few miles outside the village. The family of nine lived a subsistence life with the father cutting firewood every day. When one of his two cows fell while grazing on a steep hillside and had to be killed, the father sent Volpe, who had stopped by during a daily run, back to Shatili with a note etched by knife in stone, inviting the villagers to come and collect the meat. With no refrigerators, it couldn't be stored.

Georgia is about 9,000 miles from the U.S. It is a country slightly smaller than South Carolina, located in southwest Asia, bordering the Black Sea between Turkey and Russia. It is an incredibly poor country in which 54 percent of the nearly five million in population live below the poverty line.

These are the people who will suffer for supporting us to bomb Iran.

What's more, last month the pipeline to Georgia was blown up and the entire country was without heat, while daytime temps were about 20 degrees. Iran helped them to have heat. Iran to supply emergency gas to Georgia
