#1 No! NO! No! No! Georgia is a plucky democracy defending itself from unprovoked aggression by communist Russia led by a KGB archfiend Vlad (the impaler) Putin!

#2 All this was when Georgia was a mafia state under the wings of the big mafia of Putin. This article is from 2000.

Its their throwing this Russian impopsed thug government off, cleaning up the gangsterism, rooting out corruption, and liberating themselves that has Russia so upset. It sets a bad example for the gangsters that they can be defied.

Grom you dunce, this is BEFORE the rose revolution. How stupid can you be?

#3 Andf Grom why don't you leave (Israel I recall) and move back to Russia if you agree so much with the gansters that run it nad praise their every brutal act? Hmm?

The fact that you are tucked away safely may have something do do with your mental deficiences regarding Russia and their unwarranted agression and targeting of civilians well outside of S. Osettia.

Go back for a vist you coward. Live with the criminals you praise.

#4 I've got to say his latest conflict has been interesting in how it brought out the passions and prejudices of Rantburg regulars.
