Watching and reading U.S. media coverage about the Russian-Georgian conflict is almost comical. U.S. media are just puzzled over Russian arguments about its vital interests in its neighbor to the south. The U.S. of course can go all the way to Iraq and Afghanistan and not feel the need to justify arguments about vital interests thousands of miles away from the homeland. The New York Times said not one word about the Israeli military/intelligence role in Georgia. The New York Times, however, paid tribute to the civilians harmed by Russian bombs. In one day in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Gaza more civilians are killed by U.S./Israeli bombs than in the entire Russian-Georgian conflict. The coverage of the New York Times also brings back memories of the Times' coverage of Israeli war of aggression on Lebanon. And George was the country--emboldened by U.S./Israeli support--that provoked this crisis. Russia should use American arguments in its war on Iraq: Russia should say that it suspected that Georgia was developing WMDs, that Georgia is linked to terrorist groups in Russia, that Georgia has been violating human rights, that Georgia is a threat to peace, and that it is better for Russia to attack Georgia otherwise Georgia would attack Russia. Finally, it can be said that mainstream U.S. media are as loyal to their government as Syrian and Saudi media; they only disagree on details.
