What's your opinion of the whole Georgia mess? I'm really divided...

i don't have an informed opinion, so i'll withhold. i'll look into it though when i have time...

Dude, why haven't you been paying attention!?

While Israel was recently bombing Lebanon, killing many civilians in Beirut, the USA stayed away from the "conflict" and said Israel, as an independent country, has all the rights to defend its borders. However, we knew that Israel is a country without certain borderlines.

Then Russians attack Georgia, and the USA claims to Russia "respect to Georgian borders". Russia responds as "we are doing this for the southern Ossetia's totality".

However, neither Ossetia nor Georgia and Israel have distinct borders. They are in the same shoe when it comes to the autonomy (since 1991).

Besides, two of the countries above are occupants of Chechnya and Afghanistan.

And then the USA indirectly criticizes Russia for screwing things up this obviously.

How many controversies are out there? I lost the track.

Altogether would make two seasons of 24, that's for sure.

At last, you do good by not paying attention.

The comparison between Israel's invasion of southern Lebanon and the Russian invasion of Georgia are in no way comparable. The circumstances surrounding the two are entirely different.

Yeah, I know. Depending on where you are looking from, things might look differently. Perception is a funny thing.

Betul.
