What are you talking about, it is already in the mix, behind the scenes of course.Do you really think the "Mujahedeen" defeated the Soviets on their own? Have you seen / read "Charlie Wilson's War" (True Story)?
I seem to recall that Georgia was supposed to "help out" the US in Afghanistan and not the US to come to the rescue of Georgia.
As far as NATO is concerned, the notion that, say, Belgian troops would die for mad Mikhail's ambitions is comical enough to make a discussion if it could happen utterly superfluous.
