Opposing Opinions:Georgia, Russia, and the United States.
Anybody who has seen this week’s issue of the Kaleidoscope may have noticed that two of the regular columnists on the Forum have very opposite opinions on the recent devolopments in Russia and Georgia. One favors U.S. intervention in the issues and suggests a diplomatic approach before any military action is taken. The other is of the opinion that the U.S. has enough on it’s plate as it is and that we should, as a nation, stay out of it. The former makes the point that Russia is power-hungry and must be controlled before they can cause too much damage and the latter argues that any action that President Bush might take would be overstepping his bounds as an outgoing president. While it is always great to see diverse opinions in a student newspaper we here at the Forum want to know the opinions of more than just our paid writers. Please leave comments(as long as you would like) on this post with your opinions as a student. Should the United States intervene and to what extent?
