There is a big difference between the Revolutionaries in 1776 and the Asian Georgians. Something akin to this would be if the US Georgia decided to take on an armed resurrection against the United States right now in 2012. There would be little if no chance of winning for the US Georgia.

The Asian Georgia could win but would need the United Nations, the US, and others behind them. Believe they got their independence-- or that of most of their claimed territory-- through the help of the international community. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_(country)

And it seems that President Bush, Jr. could have been mad as hell about an Iraqi assassination plot against his father. http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/1019-05.htm


"During a campaign speech in September 2002, Bush cited a number of reasons -- in addition to alleged terrorist links and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) about why Saddam was so dangerous to the U.S., noting, in particular that, ''After all, this is the guy who tired to kill my dad.''

He was referring, of course, to an alleged plot by Iraqi intelligence to assassinate Bush's father, former president George H.W. Bush, during his triumphal visit to Kuwait in April, 1993, 25 months after U.S.-led forces chased Iraqi troops out of Kuwait in the first Gulf War and three months after Bush Sr. surrendered the White House to Bill Clinton." from above link.
