Glenn Beck Confers with President Mikhail Saakashvili

Glenn Beck this week, without any preconditions, sat down to have a frank conversation with Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili. I say there were no preconditions because it was obvious that neither Glenn Beck, nor his people had even informed President Saakashvili that they would even have to break for commercials.

In his talk with Glenn Beck, President Saakashvili came across as a very earnest, concerned and down to earth kind of guy. To me President Saakashvili comes across as the kind of guy that Vladimir Putin of Russia would eat for breakfast. I guess you could say that I felt great sorrow for the Georgian President and his fledgling Democracy. When asked by Glenn Beck why the American people should feel the need to come to the aid of the Georgian Republic, President Saakashvili gave a plain, passionate explanation of just what the country of Georgia is. Georgia is a small democratic country that has thrown off the chains of socialist oppression, embraced the ideals of democracy and eliminated the Soviet style corruption that was once prevalent. Now the Russian bear is waging war, trying to reclaim old territory.

Listening to Glenn's interview of President Saakashvili on the radio and watching the interview on CNN, I could tell that one of the big questions for Glenn Beck is, "Why should we get involved with this entangling alliance?" Glenn obviously felt compassion, but the question all leaders face in this situation. "Is this something my country should become involved in?"
