hello haim, do teach, as i wish to learn, and so some questions, socratic style and confucius fashion ... here they go

- The question in this conflict is not whether either Georgia or Russia is correct - Georgia's arguments against dissolution along ethnic lines are identical to those made by Russia regarding Kosovo and Chechnya - rather, the question is whether or not the West is still a relevant presence in the Caucasus and, by extension, all of central Asia.

Ok, i got it, when one is wrong, and the other must not be seen to be right, it is then best to obscure rather than illuminate by the bs-killing properties of the sun. Let's play.

- Some watching the events unfold believe that granting Russia control over its near abroad - including tiny Georgia - is a fitting price to pay for Russian cooperation on the more urgent question, Iran.

I doubt anyone here is moronic enough to believe that russia will cooperate with neocons on iran whatever the bribe, and so no need to obscure the truth and shade the facts with that most unbecoming bit of spin-less spun. that basket of fish does not sell here.

- But if the world's strategy for containing the Islamic Republic's nuclear ambitions is to effect a psychological and political change in Teheran, the perception of Western and American weakness in coming to Georgia's defense achieves the opposite.

by nuclear ambitions, what precisely do you mean, energy from fission, or fusion, or bombs on rockets so that they can defend themselves against murder, rape, and pillage? as you had wanted to do to the chinese not so long ago with nuclear termination, in cogent and explicit terms yet, in broad daylight of si - remember? should the chinese also be disarmed of nukes? why am i asking you?

guess what, not all needs to take any ill intent from the likes of you.

as to perceptions, why would one care about perceptions if the truth says otherwise, unless the perceptions of systemic corruption, cultural rot, and mindless religion are close or spot on the truth?

what on earth are you afraid of that so much spin is necessary to obscure clear wrongs and absolute rights?

should mother russia not defend its passport-carrying citizens from absolutely grotesque rampage? is russia so weak that it must behave as the more unfortunates of this earth must?

no, and no.

over to you.
