No.

"If the Americans can take Baghdad, we can take Tbilisi"
-Russian Army Commander
A tough statement to argue with, isn't it?

We didn't take Baghdad. And in fact, have not benefited from Iraq's oil either. Lastly, there were UN resolutions on the table that backed us. Other's just changed their minds. I'm not going to argue any longer whether it was right or wrong. But it is completely wrong to compare that to the Russia/Georgia fight.

However, Georgia really shouldn't have used force against the break away areas. They had to know that Russia would respond the way they did.

Not good for anyone.
