War and Real estate, from USA to South Ossetia

The countdown is on for World War III, unless someone decides to stop it. That is what Georgia's Saakashvilli's attack on South Ossetia, and Russia means. Note for some background, check out the June 20th 2008 EIR:

"EU leaders have stepped up their challenges to Russian interests... eclipsing the United Nations in places where the UN, or Russia under a UN mandate, has played a role since the 1990s. The result is an aggravation of tensions that threaten to pull Russia's southwest border areas, especially the Caucasus region, into a general escalation of warfare across Eurasia," she wrote.

Under EU Secretary General Javier Solana's direction, the EU set up a diplomatic group which traveled to the autonomous regions of Transdniestria, in Moldova, and South Ossetia and Abkhazia, in Georgia, and arranged visits to Brussels and London, by leaders they were cultivating from these so-called "unrecognized republics." In this effort, the EU group has been working closely with Georgia's fervent "Rose Revolution" leader, President Michael Saakashvili, who himself proclaimed last May: "We are the fighting ground for a new world war."

Will Obama and Mccain give a damn to stop this game, or can we get some one else at this late date to run for President. See what the falling real estate and mortgage markets are doing to leaders' minds and the strategic situation?
