Another reason for Mr Saakashvilli to step down why does he persist he is counter balancing the rather turbulent country into more deeper problems by staying in office I just wish he would do the right thing and step down he is Georgia's counter-production and Georgia's worst ever leader since the collapse of the Soviet Union and yet back then they already had a great leader before the ill fated successful Coup-De-Tat. Russia,Armenia,South Ossetia and Abkhazia is the only one's that can save Georgia from this oppressor and never the U.S. they'd rather use this as another reason to condemn Russia's action's in the Caucasus. Please note "Russia puts one step wrong the U.S. always hits the Cold War ethic" I believe this is wrong Russia is the Hope of the world not U.S. this scare tactic has been used since the Cold war ended and made the world biast against the Russian Federation (That's just plain wrong). So why does'nt the world relise that pattern. Finally in the end it will be up to Russia to pick up the pieces yet again.
