Georgia On My Mind

So while China was having a Milli Vanilli Olympics moment at the expense of a small child (really nice, people), Russia seized the opportunity to seize. I admit, I don't know all the political ramifications or reasons behind the conflict between Russia and Georgia. I've been reading up on it and trying to get educated.

The situation is no laughing matter; people are hurt and the situation looks very bad. But when I did hear about it; just for a split second, I thought, "What If some country Invaded OUR Georgia here in the US." I believe they'd have a difficult go of it.

I present to you the top principles of the Invasion of the State of Georgia Defense Battleplan:

1. First of all, they would have to deal with General Ludicrous, who I think would step to the plate to lead the defense. It would give them pause to deal with someone named General Ludicrous, as it is the same type of Moniker as Cap'n Crazy or Lt. Loony. And, you know, I wouldn't mess with the guy.
   
   
2. Our strategy could lead our attackers into the Atlanta airport, which is the most poorly designed airport in the world. There, they could be herded onto the train of inefficiency that take passengers to the gate. Then, they could get onto planes that would just sit on the runway for hours.
   
   
3. There are a lot of Civil War re-enactors down there that I don't think would mind jumping into the fray.
   
   
4. Have you seen pissed-off Southern women? Never ends well.
   

But back to reality, perhaps it can all be summarized by the following statement made by a Georgian blogger:, "I cant help wondering if Russia would [have] been audacious enough to defy international law if there wasn't a trend in defying it set by the U.S. over the years." So maybe with the November election, we can start to lead more by example.
