GEORGIA started the war - not the RUSSIANS! It was Georgia who attacked first. Today we are all RUSSIANS.Don''t believe me - Google it yourself. The Georgian first attack is a FACT. The news media is LYING TO YOU. It''s the same kind of lies that led us into the IRAQ WAR.

Russia seems to be reverting back to the old Soviet Union era of "realpoltik". Stalin was famous for asking about the Vatican''s influence by saying "how many divisions does the pope have". The imperialist edge making an ugly return in South Ossetia could not come at worse time. Russian diplomacy is needed for such issues as North Korea, Iran, and other important issues. The Iranian nuclear program needs to get resolved. Israeli officials seem to be running out on patience with the diplomatic process dragging on for years. A prolonged war between Israel and Iran could put the whole Middle East on fire and gasoline prices through the stratosphere. Al Gore''s plan for renewable energy might suddenly gain new inspiration.

After seeing that 12 year old Ossetian-American girl on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8XI2Chc6uQ) give her account of the Georgian attack I have no doubt that the buck stops with Saakashvili. It''s kind of strange, though, that the media here has been trying to paint a totally different picture. Disconcerting? - to say the least...

Are we humans stubborn or what?

I agree and if you believe as I do this is the nature of the beast. Liberal''s believe they can perfect humans somehow and human society. I don''t. I beleive that we humans are by nature flawed as moral beings and need the salvation of christ.

And the Russians are really angry. Now they threaten to arm their warships and submarines in the Baltic (Times Online Aug. 17) and the Mediterranean with nuclear warheads - and to place such things in Kaliningrad (Kvnigsberg) and in Syria - thus also threatening the existence of Israel (Debka, Aug.17, 2008). %u201D Russia threatened Poland with a nuclear strike yesterday The Times Online Aug. 16, 2008

This clearly shows the weakness of the US scared out of their wits - and it is ridiculing US aspirations to be the leader of world governance. The Russian Bear simply ignores the US, knowing it is a paper tiger with no teeth.

CBS-Picture 4: Georgians walk with religious icons during a protest against the Russian military presence in their country in Zugdidi, western Georgia, Sunday, Aug. 17, 2008.

-I thought those nuts were gone lotime ago. I can''t believe it they are still sticking their tiny pea brains into those fairy tales. I hope they would fight the US Evangelicals in order to convert them to their own version of fairy tales or vis-versa.

-Just can''ty believe it. I''m in big despair!

Mr. Sarkozy then tried to call Dmitri A. Medvedev, the Russian president, to amend the point with a timeline. The adviser, who was present, said the Russians did not take the call for two hours. When the French president got through, the proposal was rejected.

This is hilarious. All Bush can do is stand there with his limp tallywacker in his hand stamping his wittle foot.
