Very nice music,

Thank u for this movie.

Yes, we are. Georgiqns don't care about Ossetians, they came there to destroy them. But I'm sick and tired of the double standarts when every move Russia makes is wrong while all Amwerika does is right. There were enough things that we ignored that were made against us. Enough is enough.

Because aside from out nationality, I supposed (erroneously as I see now) that we are all Human beings...it seems not...

[Xeniya1988]

And I've just said that its Georgians own fault. They started to kill civillians - children and women and they thought they'd get nothing for that. And why should Russian-Ossetian Gergiev mourn over them?

[qubix2008]

Aha, so when a Russian soldier puts an AK-47 to a civilian's head and blows his brains out, or a Russian airplane bombs civilian buildings, the West (by the west i think you mean USA) is responsible? Do you think I'm defending USA or something? Or that I agree to what they did in Iraq and Afghanistan? Everything I said a couple of posts above was that to mourn only the civilians on the Russian side is a sign of disgusting hypocrisy. That was the whole point, I'm not taking any sides here...

[Xeniya1988]

Saakashvilli and his master Bush are responsible for all victimsm and there'd be more dead Ossetians if Russia'd not get involved. It's the West who only start to care about civillians when it's interested in that country.

Georgia is not an animal, nor is it a unified entity, Georgia, like any other country is composed of innocent civilians and some cretins who lead them. I was talking about the civilians killed on both sides by the idiocy in the brains of to mad communists: Putin and Sakashvily. I see people consider it a touchy subject, since my last post got 3 thumbs down already. Seems there are lots of idiots out there, who don't give a shit about civilian life...

[Xeniya1988]

Georgia started this conflict, and they were punished for it. THey've hurted themselves.

[qubix2008]

Hahaha...solidarity with Ossetia....sweet, what about the civilians killed by the Rusian (or should I say Soviet) invasion deep into Georgia? Weren't these civilians as innocent as the ones in Ossetia? The children killed by Russian soldiers were not the same as children killed by Georgians? As Isaac Asimov once said "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."
