Russian aggression in Georgia: why no protests against it?
I'm in Iceland this week and on my walk from my hotel to the conference venue I can walk by the Russian embassy here in Reykjavik. When I walked by it the other day I was wondering, "why are there no protestors here?" OK, it was 7:30 in the morning so that might have been one reason, but seriously, I doubt if there ever were any protestors. When the U.S. went in to Iraq there were HUGE protests in Europe. We didn't commit any atrocities, we took out a tyrant. They should have been applauding us. The Russians go into a sovereign country and, literally in many instances, rape and pillage the populace and there is hardly a peep. What's up with that????
By the way, Victor Davis Hanson has a good opinion piece on the Russia/Georgia situation.
