The real reason for the conflict? on the dawn of the construction of the Nabucco NG pipeline which will undercut Gasprom NG supplies to Europe ??? Not to mention that Russia wants to send a strong signal also to Azerbaijan and the closer relationship of the Azeris with the US. If the West will not forceful interfere and defend Georgia position I am afraid that we will quickly return to the days of the cold wars and extortion in all economic spheres by the Russians. Now is another real test of the (lack of) backbones of the EU. Interesting to see what Merkel and Sarkozy can prove their mantle and are worthy as leaders "Russian jets have been roaming Georgia's skies since Friday. They raided several air bases and bombed the Black Sea port city of Poti, which has a sizable oil shipment facility. The Russian warplanes also struck near the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline which carries Caspian crude to the West, but no supply interruptions have been reported." and on counting on Volodmir trusted heritage of waging war, Today Russia does the same as over 1000 years ago - home.newadvent.org When Vladimir returned to Kieff he took upon himself the conversion of his subjects. He ordered the statues of the gods to be thrown down, chopped to pieces, and some of them burned; the chief god, Perun, was dragged through the mud and thrown into the River Dnieper. now Russia today under Putin does the same to convert Georgia back to Russians spere of influence "An Associated Press reporter who visited the town shortly after the strike saw several apartment buildings in ruins, some still on fire, and scores of dead bodies and bloodied civilians. The elderly, women and children were among the victims. Russian officials said they weren't targeting civilians, but Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said that Georgia brought the airstrikes upon itself by bombing civilians and Russian peacekeepers in South Ossetia. He warned that the small Caucasus country should expect more attacks. "Whatever side is used to bomb civilians and the positions of peacekeepers, this side is not safe and they should know this," Lavrov said." jpost.com
