-Georgia invaded Ossetia first, with the support/assistance of the US. Russia then overreacted and kicked their ass. It is a conflict over oil and control over oil pipline pathways. That simple. It has nothing to do with Georgia's Democracy.
-Stop claiming that you will wipe out our dependency on foreign oil. Impossible... unless we wipe out half the Earth's population and completely switch to an alterate source. Fusion power maybe?
-God Bless America and protect our troops.. because God prefers 'us' over them. 'He' surely recognizes national borders, and takes preferences to us over 'those infidels' Yeah.. good logical thinking.
I think it's possible for us to end our dependency on foreign oil, just no time soon. Drilling for more oil isn't going to end our dependency, but switching to electric cars across the board would massively reduce how much oil we'd need, and we could use anything to charge those cars, wind, solar, hydro, geothermal, natural gas, coal, fission nuclear, and fusion nuclear when we get there.
As for Georgia, you're right about why we care about "democracy" in Georgia, but we do care about whether Georgia (and the Ukraine) generally leans towards democracy and NATO, or subservience to Putin. Though in my mind, that should be more because of our solidarity with the EU than anything else.
