The New Cold War

Russia's unprovoked attack on the country of Georgia is something that is upseting, but it should not be a shock. Russia has also sided with Iran in helping support its nuclear ambitions and has come out against America's new missle defense system that is being built in Eastern Europe. On the flip side, America and Israel continue there strong relationship (for the most part) but also both support the state of Georgia. Then, with France and the United Kingdom on the side with Israel and America and all being against the Iranians nuclear program, it all appears to be setting up to become another East v. West with the Middle East being the main battleground.
