Pravada is, of course, blaming the US:

This is sounding like the "cold war". A complicated and very dangerous situation and sad people are dieing.

IMHO - It's not a "cold war" when people are shooting.
Probably a bit more than a "police action" as well.

Whose fault is it --- probably all major players now involved.

Sometimes culture and memories of who-done-my-country-wrong make hate and revenge a source of pride.

Sometimes yes, you do need to fight. But your aim is better if your hand is not shaking with rage. And your mind is better able to judge the long-range benefits of your actions if you are not angry.

The Russian solders said they where shooting the roofs of to put the residents out of homes. a kinda punishment.
Thats got to be hard to do ,just shoot the roofs off with a tank cannon. they killed aprox. 1400 civilians doing it.

Diane, I just meant the rhetoric sounds like the "cold war".

Below is a Black Sea map that might make more clear the countrys relationships to one another and to the international waterways.

sounds like a little decention on the Russian side,
Translation: Russian � English

"... Why are the Chechens fought with Russia during the Yeltsin?
Because of this the men they were ashamed to obey Yeltsin.
Why Chechens stopped fighting with Russia in time of Putin?
Because this man is not ashamed to obey Putin.
As men-Georgians will then abide by its Saakashvili can not quite understand! .. "(C)
