Georgia in the Balkans: Russia’s problem or America’s? (Update #2)
Funny how I know more in two days about the problems in Georgia than I know about Darfur.
From what I understand, Georgia broke away from Russia to become a stand alone country. They want to be recognized as a country distinct from Russia and have aspirations to become a UN Member. They have made an application for membership which is on-hold. Meanwhile, a state in the country, Ossetia, has no interest in becoming a UN Member and wants to stay loyal to Russia.
The President of Georgia, Pres. Saakashvili, says, “No, no, no not by my chinny chin chin! You are a part of our country now and if you don’t do what I say, I will huff and puff and blow your house down.” and little Osesstia said, “Oh, yeah? Let’s see you try it, Sak-kass! You Coward! You bully! Sissy!” and so Pres. Saakashvili said, “I’ll show you! Take THAT!” as he moves his army tank into the town square of Ossetia which also happens to be the entire state, and Russia quite calmly said, “Hold everything, Partnuh. Why don’t you pick on somebody your own size? Now you take THIS!!” and America said, “GOLLY GEE! Russia is picking on poor little Georgia! We gotta do something! Condi….Condi!!!”
I do not know why I reduce some problems down to an infantile level but hey, that’s the kind of guy I am and it is by no means a put-down. I have to reduce situations to my level of understanding. Maybe I am coming from my teaching training and experiences. So be it. I found it I can make myself understand the situation, I can more appropriately relate it to others.
I note a conversation a correspondent had with Pres. Saakashvili and anyone in America hearing his diatribes would have concerns as to his abilities to telling truths. There maybe a cultural thing with him but I have, lamentably, heard used car salesmen talk before. Finally, Kudos to CNN-Live and BBC-World for superb reporting. My observations continue to detect biases in the tone of some commentators on CNN-Live.
As always,

(Update) Russia struck before the propagandist could get in place. They are in place now along with the people who do not know what they are talking about, the obstructionist and the people who just want to be noticed by any means necessary pandering all manner of credentials. You never hear from the teacher assistant, the court stenographer, the Ex. Senate page, the office gossip. Enjoy!
(Update 2) Churkin, who spoke at the UN after the Security Council failed for the third consecutive day to agree on a position on the fighting, said Georgia's military actions had ``all the elements of genocide and war crimes.''
The word “genocide” is used. This is a little confusing to me but I heard the Russians are considered to be of the Mongoloid race tho I have not heard that in a very long time. I don’t think the Romanoffs were Mongoloid and for all I know, that maybe a part of the problem. I thought the Romanoffs were Jewish judging from a family portrait I saw of them. They had Yamahas (SP) on their heads.
