NO NO NO non nein nyet

Russia is not a good guy, nor is Georgia: one overreacted to the other's bite, and civilians of whatever nationality, citizenship, folk, people, ethnicity are caught in the middle and dying or suffering.
The splinter provinces in Georgia are merely attempting what the world has condoned in Kosovo, for example, and it is difficult to speak of territorial integrity of a state when the same has been "overlooked" elsewhere.
The bushbaby should stop baiting Russia and egging on Georgia; Medwedjev should stop taking the bait and grow up. His country is not under threat. The world better wake up and call all parties to a meeting of reason, result-open, and demand that disputes be settled without weapons or other military or invasive actions, even if the playpen has not provide a good role model for that. It, too, is called on to place disputes before the UN and international assemblies for peaceful settlement respecting the interest of all and upholding the rights of the humans at risk.
