Let socialism be their guide! Ah, but you're out of date. The New Russia is still invading foreign countries and chopping off bits of land from them... such as that containing the Sudeten Russians in Georgia... but this is now being done for Russian Nationalism, not Socialist Internationalism. While they still seem somewhat cooperative, and are believed by many to just be showing that they are a power to be reckoned with in their own right... "gestures" that get innocent people killed in free countries, I think, should be recognized for what they are. Of course, when they do turn to open enmity, it will be a tactical mistake to do so in the name of fascism rather than socialism, which would allow them to appear to be motivated by positive ideals. The Communists, after all, confused many. But then, Islamic supremacists manage to confuse people without a liberal face. John Savard |

Things have gotten so bad in Kyrgyzstan, that they have actually _invited_ the Russians to come back in the http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...sections_world Reminding one of the "Romans ever done for us" scene out of "Life Of Brian": Azat: "What had the Russians ever done for us? They bled us white, the *******s. They'd taken everything we had, not just from us, from our fathers and from our fathers' fathers." Nurbek: "And from our fathers' fathers' fathers." Azat: "Yes." Nurbek: "And from our fathers' fathers' fathers' fathers." Azat: "All right, Nurbek. Don't labor the point. And what did they ever give us in return?" Asan: "Hydroelectric dams?" Azat: "Oh yeah, yeah they gave us those. Yeah. That's true." Bakyt: "And the sanitation!" Nurbek: "Oh yes... sanitation, Azat, you remember what the place used to be like." Azat: "All right, I'll grant you that the hydroelectric dams and the sanitation are two things that the Russians had done..." Kuban: "And the roads..." Azat: "Well yes obviously the roads... the roads go without saying. But apart from the hydroelectric dams, the sanitation and the roads..." Sultan: "Collective farms..." Other Voices: "Medicine... Education... Health..." Azat: "Yes... all right, fair enough..." Activist Near Front: "And the vodka..." Kuban: "Oh yes! True!" Asan: "Yeah. That's something we really missed when the Russians left, Azat." Nurbek: "And it's not safe to walk in the streets at night now." Sultan: "Yes, they certainly knew how to keep order...(general nodding)... let's face it, they were the only ones who could in a place like this." Azat: "All right... all right... but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and collective farms and public health and roads and hydroelectric dams and vodka and public order... what did the Russians ever do for us?" Nurbek: "Brought peace between the ethnic groups!" Azat: "What!? Oh... (scornfully) Peace, yes... shut up!" :-D Pat |

The Russians were under obligation by treaty (a treaty signed by them and the Georgian government) to protect the people of South-Ossetia. Had they not sent there army, you would probably be whining about how the Russians don't fulfil their international obligations for not doing what they where suppose to do. Alain Fournier |

Alain Fournier On the liberation. Let's also not forget that Georgia attacked them (whether provoked or not). In hindsight their response was rather restrained. I can think of some western nations that wouldnt have reacted so mildly. For example, if Cuba had launched an attack against the US, would the US just anex some territory (ala the russians) or completely destroy Cuba and its government. |
