Georgia sits on Russia's border and the United States has pushed for its inclusion into NATO.
Even though both Abkhazia and South Ossetia are recognized as part of Georgia by international governing bodies, Russia has clear designs on either taking a chunk out of a Western friendly nation on its border or having a client state (who would need Russian military to protect it, of course) not 50 miles from Tbilisi.
It is not comparable to the United States & Iraq.
