Russia will always put diplomacy first as a way of protecting its interests, though it will not exclude other means if necessary, said President Medvedev when awarding state honours to Russian troops for the bravery they displayed during the recent conflict in South Ossetia.
HA! Oil, Natural gas and nukes is the under belly of Russian foreign policy....
Your not fooling anyone

Because it's special to Jews/Israelis. The Israelis now have their own land so don't need anyone else's by way of a gift. You and too many others are arguing from the false premise that Judea without the Israelis would belong to what you think of as the PALs and Palestine, but it would temporarily belong to whatever tribe took it by force. Why not talk about the Normans who conquered England in 1066? Or the Chieftains of Ireland who were overthrown in Elizabethan times.

nobody denies the "scale". but why they should be anything special? christian crusadears also mass murdered muslims for centuries - why not talk about that? jews in Europe were slaughtered by Hitler's Nazis - NOT Palestinians. why then Palestinians must suffer? why Germany won't give those jews some nice chunk of their land as an atonement for what they've done to them? why Jews who lived suffered Holocaust do very same thing to others now?

Apparently you don't live in Russia now and you don't know the "new" Russia, where textbooks praise Stalin, where Stalin is a national hero, and wins nameofrussia(dot)ru poll. You need to do some Google searches before replying.
Of course, Georgians did not want to join the Soviet Union and were unhappy to be forced to join by Stalin.

u keep talking total absolute crap !
as I said - Stalin is worshiped in Georgia, not Russia. get your facts straight. in russia Stalin was condemned some 60 years ago. in Georgia they still keep huge monuments of him and museums and their president considers him as a great national hero, a marvelous leader of the past to follow and copy. that's why in 2007 he brutally suppressed opposition protesters.
