Worst decision ever made by an American President?? I think thats a bit of a stretch. First of all, Georgia is NOT a part of NATO and therefore the alliance was under no obligation to act militarily to protect Georgia. Thus far, Georgia is only a member of the NATO Partnership for Peace (a NATO sub-group).

For NATO and the US to risk a conflict with Russia, espescially with many units tied up in Iraq and Afghanistan just isnt prudent. Part of politics is not just knowing WHO to fight, but WHEN and WHERE.
