CNN and all the other American and European news-sites only show the suffering from the Democratic republic of Georgia! Not trying to offend anyone here, but everything has two sides. In this conflict it is 1) Georgia provoked Russia by using their military power to regain control over South-Osettia and 2) Russia was waiting for such a military action by Georgia to give them a reason to invade the country, which ofcourse takes it too far! I just wanted to let people know; we too get biased media, although 95% of the people reckon that's not true... You only hear about the Russians being so evil, but the Georgians have played their part too! And so have the Americans with their rocket-shield.
Oh: And Bush can keep saying that the rocket-shield is in no way aimed at Russia. But can someone care to explain why they wanted to place it in Latvia then, when they say they want it to be aimed at Iran?!... I don't get it... Latvia and Iran are halfway on the other side of the world practically... (Oh, and Latvia was second choice, if Poland would not accept the deal, which it now hasn't). |
Georgia attacked the South Ossetians because the South Ossetians attacked them first... on Russia's behest.
It's the age of the internet. It's easy to get news from more then just the country you live in... and it's easy to see who is telling the truth.
The thing about the US media is... it's biased... but it doesn't have an agenda other then "Lets make money."
This story hasn't really gotten enough coverage to even have a spin put to it in the US media. Most of this storys coverage has been "how will it effect the election."
