South Ossetian conflict

[Franek Grabowski]

Actually, our knowledge is limited to media, and they are quite used to lie just about anything.
I am afraid, though, that some people deny the right of Georgia to exist as an independent country. Whatever happened in recent days, it must be noted, that this is the direct result of Soviet occupation and Russian influence. Some people may claim, what is the fuss all about, but why there was any fuss, when Germany wanted to make the Netherlands just another province of the great Reich?
Current tensions were instigated by Russia, which for years supported separatists at Ossetia and Abkhazya, and attacked Georgian territory, reputedly hitting bases of Chechnyans. Even choice of Saakashvili may be considered as a direct result of Russian actions and attempts to influence the situation, eg. during the coup that elevated Shevardnadze.
Oh, and about bombings, it sounds ridiculous when claimed by people who leveled Groznyj and other cities in Chechnya, not caring about inhabitants.
