Russia invades Georgia I
Your editorial on the Russian invasion of Georgia focuses on oppressed nationalities and the right of free self-determination. I believe it fails to recognize the role of the U.S. in ensuring a client state by way of pumping funds into Georgia to assert its own influence over the area. The Militant also fails to recognize the role played by the U.S. and NATO in arming Poland for obscure but certainly nefarious purposes. The Russians are not pumping money into Mexico to influence the outcome of elections there and to put missiles in that territory. Where is your internationalism?

Russia invades Georgia II
The front-page article “Russian troops out of Georgia!” [in the September 1 issue] was so inspiring and to the point. I needed to say well done to the Militant and its volunteer staff for being right on the button. I am sure I am one of many who appreciate reading a paper that speaks to the needs of the international working class.
