In the light of all this data, which I am well aware of, the actual case that Russia's role in the two breakaway regions of Georgia is that of a peacekeeper.

Posters familiar with the region have pointed this out. Example.

I do not believe you are also unaware of these facts.

The oil pipe line does not encroach on either of the two disputed regions.

It appears to me that it is in our interests to keep playing the Kosovo move and allow South Ossetia and Abkhazia full recognition as independent states. If Saakashvili needs a nudge he should be given a firm poke in the ribs to comply.

That way we can all be seen to look humanitarian yet keep a firm eye on the essentials.

It would be good for Russia to consolidate some power in its democracy and reign in some of its extremist movements. Full play is being made by the extremists of the SO attacks, and are all volunteering for front line duty to honor their nation. That is so 1940's, we need to show we are better then that these days.

one for the road news.bbc.co.uk , and eager to hear your spin, especially the part about the kids have grown up used to night bombardment.

sounds like racial profiling, ethnic cleansing, and final solution to me. what does it sound like to you? victory around the corner? devine right? home by christmas?

sounds to me that the ethno fascist of georgia must be rooted out before they infect the entire planet with roman spirit. no?

am i misunderstanding the situation? illuminate please. what does nyt say? what does wsj mumble about? why is bush playing beach volley ball?

here is the predictable cnn spin edition.cnn.com , something about disproportionate counteraction by russians to alleged killing of russian peace keepers.

like, whatever, but does alleged russian counter-actions work? oh, yes, they do, because the georgians stopped what ever killing they were planning and ran for the hills, as uncle sam failed to come through with balls on the table, because beach volley ball was more ballsy ;0/
