Speaking yesterday, Barack Obama implied that the United States is to blame for Russia's aggression in their invasion of neighboring Georgia. Obama criticized the Russian invasion, and then said it helps if we (the U.S.) are setting the right example. It certainly seemed to be implied that Obama was equating the U.S. invasion of Iraq with Russia's invasion of Georgia.

Of course, Obama would not want to be bothered with the fact that the United States invaded Iraq to remove a despotic dictator who oppressed his people and Russia - led by a despot in Vladimir Putin - invaded Georgia to destroy their fledgling freedom and Democracy. But in Barack Obama's world, the United States is always the bad guy, and Obama is The One who is destined to make America what it should be.
