#1 I don't understand what is going on. Like the Bosnian conflict, it seems that the MSM is making an effort to "cleanse" their wording so as to make sure that we have no clue as to why one side is angry with the other.

The power plant and most villages were placed in a buffer zone established in 1994 UN ceasefire. Ok. But wtf is going on now?

Sooo, do these Abkhazian militias represent the will the people in a "breakaway province" or are they just Russian funded militants creating havoc?

The Russia-Georgia conflict erupted last Friday after Georgia launched a major offensive against its other breakaway province of South Ossetia.

Huh? Russia has obviously been planning this invasion for some time. Nobody just invades on a whim. Did the Georgians launch a major offensive against Ossetia last Friday? What did they do?

It's very confusing. I hope the blogs will do a better job of letting us understand the conflicts than the MSM did on the Kosovo/Bosnian ones. I still haven't got a clue what really happened there.
