    lol. Our propaganda news here is ridiculous with its spin.

    Russia has had peace keeping troops there since the 90's. Georgia sent more troops to try and gain more power in the territory. So Russia responded.

    I love how we supported Croatia gaining its independence. But we don't support south ossetia.

    Also like godfather said. Everyone is complaining how Russia sent troops into a sovereign nation. At least Russia was defending its civilians that live there. They have alot more legitimate reason then we did.

    The more I read about Georgia, the more I don't like the place. Russia is accussing Georgia of ethnic cleansing and trying to drag other nations into their "bloody soap opera" as Putin is quoted as saying. However, im not happy with Russia "accidently" bombing civilian sites in Goring. Georgia is also accussing Russia or trying to bomb their oil pipe that is linked to Turkey. Im also hearing that the reason for this attack is because Russia is not happy with Georgia and her ties with the EU and the West.

    I still don't know who is in the wrong...I guess it's a case of "watch this space".

    I do agree both sides arent perfect. But i honestly believe Georgia started this attack.

    I never got an answer out of my wife but she has always hated Georgians.

    Well Georgia have backed down, but Russia are continuing to bomb all of Georgia. Russia are ignoring everyone who are pleading with Russia to cease fire. Russia are saying it is because there are still Georgian soldiers in Ossetia. I dunno, it's starting to look like over-kill now with Putin desperately trynna make a point to the world. He reminds me of some kid in a playground, kicking and screaming in his sandbox and wanting everyone to notice him.

    I agree that Russia is probably going to far. But its funny how the news is putting a spin on it. they keep saying it democratic Georgia and how its wrong to invade their sovereignty. Yet it was ok to invade Iraq since its a dictatorship? Why don't we support south ossetia? They want freedom from Georgia. Oh because they are aligned with Russia and dont want our idea of whats perfect.
