Re: South Ossetian conflict

All is dangerous word, there are a few absolutely correct claims. During WWII Finland lost 84 000 soldiers and 2 000 civilians killed. And of course the civilian population was much bigger. The key was that we managed to keep enemy out of heavily populated areas and a good air defence. So during WWII it was much more safe to be a Finnish civilian than a Finnish soldier. But this is a bit far from Caucasus.
