US Politician predicted Georgia Conflict Back in 2002

Now you are aware that there's been a brief war--a "skirmish" that leaves people just as dead--in the Republic of Georgia? It was in all the papers--in Europe--and casually ignored here because, well, you know, there's fireworks in Beijing!

Here's a clear framework for what happened between Russia and Georgia recently. Yes, it's from 2002. In this "microwave" society of instant gratification and "what have you done for me now," We ignore the simple reality of history. There's plenty of history between Russia and Georgia. You'll get a good idea of the trigger points for more wars in under 90 seconds.
