Heavy Fighting in South Ossetia

[Marshal Murat]

you are still in belief that the Russians are right in their attack.

I understand EMFM position, since he clearly stands in the view that South Ossetia has the full right to withdraw from Georgia, and join Russia. Russia is only protecting a future investment, and it's people, from Georgian aggression. I would think that Russian forces are justified, in the sense that they are protecting 'citizens'. The attacks outside of South Ossetia are to only prevent Georgia from bringing more forces to bear, illegally.

So Georgia cannot defend it's own territory?

There is a fine line between enforing a cease-fire, and full blown occupation. This is the latter.
