- skewl, on 08/14/2008, -5/+5The sight of Russian tanks rolling into parts of a sovereign country on its neighboring borders will have brought a chill down the spine of many people.

- OCPaddler, on 08/14/2008, -5/+5Fail, try again Russia.
- richmomz, on 08/14/2008, -3/+4I would say that's not too far off - the number of innocent people killed by Georgia's artillery attack on South Ossetia is estimated to be around 2,000, about the same number of lives lost on 9/11.
- yessuz, on 08/14/2008, -2/+2FFS. There are two sides. Russian and Georgian.
Osetian leaders, most of them - Russian military officers. Ossetians were badgering georgian troops for nearly half a year. Please note, that South Ossetia is a region in Georgia, like Quebec in Canada.
After that, Georgians started some fighting back - against these bedgers, however, did it in their own land. The same as fighting some bandits somewhere Quabec.
After that, Russia Invaded into Ossetia "to defend it's citizens" from Georgia. But Wait. If Fance gives passports for quebecians (or how to call them), gives them weapons and sais: try to badge them.. And after that they invade Canada, to protect "French people" from being killed by canadians...
THe thing is, that "peace agreement" was signed, but:
1) Russians still keep their military in Georgia's land.
2) They still shoot at Georgians.
How "peacefull is that"?
Everyone talks about the "thousands of dead" but there is no video/photo of them. Only - Reporting. BTW - this reporting was denied by Human Rights Actyvists who are in Ossetia, telling that it is not proved etc. You have some pictures of 1 of the Shelters. That's all.
About Russian policy - During World War II they came to Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia.. to SAVE them from Germans. Please have in mind, that all three countries were independent in 1910's-1940..
All this Saving ended in 50 years of occupation.
Would you like to be saved like that? I doubt.
So stop that Crap about this conflict, because you sit in your warm houses in another side of Atlantic Ocean. You know a ***** about all the mess what is happening.
You getting information from 2 sources:
free media, which actively works in Georgia and they _are_not_controlled/cenzored_by_anyone_ and from Media from Russian side, where all the information flow is controlled by Russian General Staff.

12 Year Old Girl Tells the Truth on Fox News about Georgia. Fox News even had to cut them off right in the middle of the account of Georgian aggression even though they had just come from a commercial break 2 minutes prior to that. ***** Fox News and corporate media do not want the truth out.

Ossetian Woman: "I want you to know, to whom to blame in this conflict. It is Mr. Saakashvili who started this war, and Mr. Saakashvili who is aggressor, and my people were killed and bombed by him and over 2,000 people were killed in one day..."
Shepard Smith: "Uh, I would never cut you off but we have to go to commercial in 4 seconds..."
Ossetian Woman: "Yes I know, I know you don't want to hear that..." - fadeout, on 08/14/2008, -1/+3More like their Sudetenland.
