Heavy Fighting in South Ossetia

(you know, the one's who got the citizenship from the Russians)?

That's how you'd normally get Russian citizenship, from the Russians.

You know, I'm surprised you still won't admit that Russia is doing this for no one but themselves. I'm glad Georgia is trying to push the Russians out of their land.

I have said that - Russia is protecting their interests in the region. Big surprise. Doesn't mean they're completely in the wrong.

That is a good post. However, the British Channel 4 news has just broadcast some film of Russian "peacekeepers" attacking Georgian forces in South Ossetia a week before this conflict started. There is also little doubt that the Georgians behaved extremely badly towards the Ossetians in their attacks - trying to follow Putin's Chechen example perhaps?

Russians, Ossetians, and Georgians, to my knowledge, were having some minor conflict before this round started. This round was started by the Georgians after they violated the ceasefire that halted the last round.
