Genocide this morning. Holocaust this afternoon??

I note a creative way to describe a group of people in this impeccably written article:
Georgians are a melodramatic people, and few more so than their hyperactive president;

I am waiting for the other shoe to drop as to the ethnicity of the people and I also note no cries of “rape” as you do the instance a group of Blacks are put upon. As a matter of fact, no rape reports from Kosovo either where some of Georgia solders are also stationed.

I do not know very much about Darfur but I wonder if the U.S. had acted as swiftly in Darfur as did the Russians in Georgia, would the outcome be different. Seems the UN Security Council is poised to condemn……Russia? Sounds familiar: The people protecting their families and country in Iraq are killed and they are called terrorist with these cognitive reversals by some members of our society. Will the Russians be called terrorist?

First thing this morning, it seems Hamas is in the news. Interesting. Talks in Zimbabwe appear to be going well. Commentators and pundits have their work cut out for them today. A friend of mine used to say, “Getting butter from the goose” (A difficult task). This is going to be a very long day! The weather report says we are going to have a beautiful one. As the old folks used to say, “We’ll see.” One thing we're sure to see today is some of the world's best propagandist! Get out your popcorn.I just saw several on BBC-World.

As always,
BB
