No I hope we are not headed there, but if Russia keeps pushing we have to be. The big bully needs to back off now.

I think, sadly, the Georgian president badly misjudged the degree with which both Russia and the US would respond to his decision to take back South Ossetia -- he badly underestimaed the Russian response, and badly over-estimated the US response.


I lived in Zaire when all hell broke loose and in Paksitan during Sept 11 -- I hope your family stays safe.

The Russians keep saying that they are pulling out, but live news sources show otherwise.

Many news people have said that they felt this happened because the Russians wanted control of oil and and oil pipeline which Georgia uses to get oil to Europe.
