Russia’s invasion of Georgia showed the leftists' double standards

When the government of George W. Bush waged war in Iraq and Afghanistan, the international Left went into hysteria, outraged by what they said was a violation of the self-determination right and an abuse of power by the Yankees.

But when the Russian government decided to illegally invade the defenseless nation of Georgia, bringing in its wake a wave of killings and human rights violations, the international Left looked elsewhere and said nothing.

Rather, their radical representatives, those like Hugo Chavez who dream of the return of the tyrannical Soviet Union, were devoted to insulting the Georgian people, prompting the Russians to use their military power to conquer Georgia and all the former soviet republics.

This exposes the double standards with which the leftists deceive their followers. What the Socialists criticize is worse when they have the power.

Russia has left Georgia, due to protests raised by the civilized world, but we wonder when will the double standards disappear from the leftism?
