Calling Russia the loser of this conflict already is way too premature. Most of the world is still silent, we don't know who will participate in punishing Russia and who will remain silent. If a sufficient number of nations (China and India would be particularly interesting) decides to stay...

Let's try to get this back to the actual topic. Point is, by condemning this Russian invasion of sovereign undisputed Georgian land, the Bush administration reveals its hypocrisy, as they supported the Israeli invasion of sovereign undisputed Lebanese land only two years ago. In both cases...

Calm down a little. I see your points, but I'm still having problems working out how some people can estimate as much as 750 of the 1191 dead was Hezbollah while others are estimating 400 of those same 1191 are children under the age of 13. It was also widely reported that the majority of...

No it's not, [11] is the reference for the IDF numbers, as well as the claim that the Lebanese doesn't differentiate between civilians and combatants in death toll figures. The references for the Lebanese civilian casualties are [21] and [22]. That's page 26 on...

I'll admit I did a mistake here, I only added one wikipedia article, while I was using two. Here's the other one I was using: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_2006_Lebanon_War As you can see, the numbers are listed under civilian casualties. In other words, my word is, as...

a_person Once again you demonstrate how utterly incapable you are of talking about the reality, let alone seeing it from an objective perspective. Here are the facts: Hezbollah militia casualties: ~250 (Hezbollah claim) ≤500 (Lebanese officials) ~500 (UN officials' est.) ~600...

I'm talking about the 2006 Israel/Lebanon war, when Israel invaded the sovereign democratic nation Lebanon, killed more than a thousand civilians and wrecked allot of infrastructure. Yes, Hezbollah did attack first, and yes, Israel had the right to respond to Hezbollah, but the response was...

First of all, that list is by no means fact based, it is the wishful thinking of anti-government Russians. And second, not saying anything about Russia is by no means the same as condemning Russia. On the contrary, by shutting up, they virtually say they accept. I think it was Edmund Burke...

The US not only accepted Israels invasion of Lebanon, they provided huge amounts of weapons and they blocked every single UN resolution condemning Israeli attacks on a neighboring sovereign nation. "But the Hezbollah blabla" you say, yes, the Hezbollah, NOT the Lebanese people nor the Lebanese...

If that was true, if the entire world condemned Russia unequivocally, Russia would not be free to do this. They may be powerful, but they certainly wouldn't afford to be up against the EU, the US, China, India, Japan and Brazil. No, the condemnation of Russia is very limited, even in the...

Yes, how dare I try to see this from more than my own perspective, shame on me. You should try to take your head out of your ass once in a while. Breath the fresh air.

If I was an American patriot, I'd probably say we should give Russia a smack to show them that there will be trouble when they step over the line. The message they're getting now is that they're powerful enough to do whatever they want. I'd want to let them know they're not. If I was an adviser...

A rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question posed for its persuasive effect without the expectation of a reply. For example, "Why me, Lord?"[1] Rhetorical questions encourage the listener to reflect on what the implied answer to the question must be. When a speaker...

You don't find me boring, you follow me wherever I post and respond to my comments. Either you're actually afraid of my influence and feel you need to stop it, or you find me entertaining. Since this is a freaking internet debate and no one is really influential, it's gotta be the latter. The...

By the way, Georgia is not so rich on resources, they're highly dependent on Russia for that stuff. And they're not NATO either, they applied, but Russia managed to slow or stop the process, so other NATO nations have no obligations here. What will happen here, is that Russia will run over...

My point is not that the US is obligated to do anything, my point is the hypocrisy. The US under Bush, or any other neocon for that matter, would never go to war for world peace and justice, they only go to war for lobbyist demands which is part profit and part religious ideology (your messiah...

Where the f*ck is "good ol' USA" when their most loyal allies are being violated? This shows what you get from trusting the hypocrites in Washington. You're allied to them, not the other way around.

You're not supposed to pick the one that resembles you the most, you dumbass. You're supposed to pick the one that's best fit to lead the country. The very fact that you are thinking like that demonstrates how horrendously unfit you are to lead anything, and thus making it even more important...

Allot of clues, yes, but they're all so vague. * Beautiful nature * Green grass * Palm-like trees, farms on mountains * White houses with orange roofs * White humans * Christianity, probably Catholic * The year 1432 means something I can't access the image03.webshots.com-pictures, so...

The nature looks kind of like Faroe Islands, but the pale blue ocean and white houses screams Mediterranean, so my guess is some Greek island. Though I can't recall any islands with grass that green, the second and fifth pictures looks very much like Norway.
