Sergei, the secretary of state of the United States does not have a conversation with the Russian foreign minister about overthrowing a democratically elected president.

Misha Saakashvili, the President of Georgia, the ex-Soviet State, had a good bit of support in American political circles and decided to start a military conflict with Russia attacking a disputed area whose people had rejected Georgia and preferred the Russian affiliation and control. He was confident that the US would protect him from major retaliation. The Russians first moved troops into the attacked area and then started attacking Georgia military assets. Rice and the Russian Foreign minister were negotiating a cease fire on which they agreed to details and were going to impose them on Georgia. However, Lavrov demanded that Georgia President Saakashvili be deposed. Either nation had the power to do this, and both had in many past instances deposed or overthrown the leaders of other nations—democratically elected or not. This quote is very interesting because in this particular case the United States was stating its idealistic policy and not its “real-politic: that it exhibited in helping to bring down and depose democratically elected in Iran, Chile, Vietnam, Venezuela, Haiti, and others. Ironically, there were many in the US who wanted Saakashvili deposed for unilaterally starting a military conflict Russia that had to involve the U. S.

The despicable North Korean attack in Rangoon deprived us of trusted advisers and friends. So many of those who died had won admirers in America as they studied with us or guided us with their counsel.
