World in War again

This week though olympic, the greatest sport event of our time had its way on in Beijing, the attention was drawn by the Georgian attack in South Ossetia followed by the clash between Russian and Georgia. Russia blames NATO and US for making Georgia to start the aggression, while the Georgians are saying, "the russian aggression must not go unanswered". Thousands of people are already killed, though Georgia are claiming less than that.

Chomsky says:

"What's happening seems to me obscure. In Russia, the Putin-Khodorkovsky affair
looks like a battle between two mafias, one state-centered, the other
oligarchy-centered. But information is too low credibility to be confident, at
least what I've seen. I don't see much of an issue of democracy. And when we
are told how Bush looks into Putin's soul and finds a comrade -- need anything
more be said? Undoubtedly the NSC is worried about "the investment and
business climate." And the "rule of law" insofar as it maintains that
properly. How about the "rule of law" in Chechnya? That's someone else's
department.

Have nothing useful to say about what's happening in Georgia."- link

One question that i can't answer: "Why USA are fearing Russia? the nationalism??" - it seems obscure to me. just joking.
