An American man living in South Ossetia says U.S. and Georgian leaders are responsible for the violence that has killed 2,000 people in the region. Joe Mestas, who witnessed days of shelling, told RT that Washington will have to answer for the violence.

"I thought that since U.S. is supporting Georgia there would be some control over the situation in South Ossetia and that there would be a peaceful solution to the conflict. But what is happening there now it's not just war, but war crimes. George Bush and [Georgian president] Mikhail Saakashvili should answer to the crimes that are being committed -- the killing of innocent people, running over by tanks of children and women, throwing grenades into cellars where people are hiding," Joe Mestas said.

"The war is when military fight against military. But the Georgian army is killing innocent civilians. This is genocide," he added.

  • The sync is off. Second, the hat says RUSSIA. The bad quality makes the R look like a B and of course, he doesn't turn so you can't see the ending. He wears the same cap in another interview and you can see all of it.

  • i would not let this negative into my reality.
