That's right, it seems that Caucasian borders have been created to create problems...

As were those in Africa...

     & in the Middle East.

     Shocked It just occurred to me that this might not get much play in the United States because people here might think that it's Georgia the state going to war with Russia (since Americans don't know geography).

Correct Pym, however, you got our two quotes mixed up. Tongue I fixed it. Smiley

I don't know how I did that. I knew you were pro-Georgian.

If Dazzleman was still here he'd be shocked to see how much I dislike Russia currently. He said all liberals secretly loved the USSR/Russia, no matter what awful things they did.

I don't think the European leftists are disproving D-man.

The European Union (which by the way is mostly made up of conservative governments now but we all know you won't listen to that logic) is pretty much taking the exact same position on this as Bush.

     Good for the EU. It's nice to see somebody standing up to the Russian bullies.

Luckily, France, in the name of EU, comes in the game and say:

"Please turn back to your positions of before the war"

...

What did you expect Kouchner to say? Kill all Russians? Kill all Georgians? Kill all South Ossetis?

I would have expected him to propose serious and accurate things. With what happened the situation just can't no more be as before, and it seems so evident for me that I wonder why I write it.

     The thing is, any realistic proposal would probably anger either the Georgians or the Russians. He probably just said what he did to avoid fanning the flames, so that a real compromise will be more easily reached in due time.
