Regime change is part of this tit for tat. Further, if Saddam would have remained in power and the sanctions were lifted, Russia, France, and China had signed contracts to develop Iraq's oil fields. Regime change negated Russia's agreements with Saddam's Iraq. The West has opened the door for both preemptive strikes, in the model of Imperial Japan, and regime change, if it can be demonstrated that a regime has been systematically assaulting (ethnic cleansing) one group of its citizens. The Georgians are reaping what we have sown. Russia is at least doing a tit for tat with NATO with Georgia playing the role of Serbia. Regime change is part of this tit for tat.
