As a Russian jet bombed fields around his village, Djimali Avago, a Georgian farmer, asked me: “Why won’t America and Nato help us? If they won’t help us now, why did we help them in Iraq?”
>
>A similar sense of betrayal coursed through the conversations of many Georgians here yesterday as their troops retreated under shellfire and the Russian Army pressed forward to take full control of South Ossetia. >
>This whole thing is confusing. Some one who knows please correct me. Didn't this start because Georgia decided to retake the area that had won independence? Didn't Georgia start this mess and then Russia stepped in to help Ossetia (probably political)?
Why do Russians care that South Ossetia seek independence from Georgia?
Hint: Leader of Georgia is thought to be pro-American.
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.
- Alexis de Tocqueville
No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
