Nice to see Dick Cheney fanning the flames of World War Three in the Caucasuses. I think it sucks what happened to the Georgians but they deserved it, to a certain degree. About the time the Soviet Union imploded and all these non-Russian republicks not within the border of the now formerly Socialist Federal Republic of Russia started realizing they didn't have the Kremlin to keep them in line any more, some fascist-assed super-nationalistic Georgians started a campaign of "Georgians for Georgians", and whipped up feelings against a small enclave of people living in what is called South Ossetia. The number of South Ossetians in the world, you could fit into Staten Island and still have room for their cousins in North Ossetia to visit. So just like the Serbs in the former Yugoslavia pulled a mini-Holocaust on their neighboring Slavs, the Georgians have fought to uproot and exterminate the South Ossetians, who have been trying to mind their damn business for the past six hundred years, to no avail. The Russians don't give a turnip root for Ossetians, they just can't stand the government in Georgia, hate their ties to the West and want flex their influence in Central Asia once again, like they did in the times of the Tsars and Tsarinas. Right now, in Venezuela, Chavez is inviting the Russians to participate in their naval war games, to piss off Cheney/Bush. I have to laugh. It's like 1962, again. While I'm sure the boys and girls in Moscow, Peking, Washington and Brussels definitely don't want to have a nuclear meltdown because it's bad for business, the lunatics elsewhere are guiding their fingers towards the buttons of mutally assured four hundred and fifty million tons of irradiated roasted hunks of well done steaks.
