I heard a lot of news about this event for the last month, and most of them seem to indicate that Georgia was mainly at fault. And frankly, Russia handled it in a great manner. If it was USA instead of Russia, they would have had their army bases in Georgia, maybe with a few soldiers from France & UK, so they can call it "International Peacekeeping Forces", and change the government.

It is a shame how much the media demonized the Russians, and how these after-effect news will be completely ignored.

I wanted to post at this politicsforum, but I figured with the elections, any non-America posts will be completely ignored for now.
