Re: South Ossetian conflict

Juha,

Superpowers bombing towns of small countries isn't unique to Russia.

Isn't it acceptable if the press agencies call it collateral damage, while attacking legitimate military targets?

That Russia has its own agenda isn't unique either (call it national interests, to coin a popular phrase), but that doesn't mean Georgia doesn't have such an agenda of its own and is willing to take some gambles to achieve their own goals. It is easy to point at Russia as the aggressor, but IMHO this case just isn't as cut and dried.

But I guess your "Weltanschauung" will lead you to a different conclusion.
