"A Mission for All of Georgia", Sabine Freizer in EU Observer

The real work needs to be done in South Ossetia and Abkhazia, where the mission should be mandated to monitor the withdrawal of Ossetian, Abkhaz, Georgian and Russian forces to their pre-7 August positions; re-establish security, put an end to the ongoing destruction of Georgian homes and properties in South Ossetia; help in the provision of humanitarian assistance; and most importantly, assist return of displaced persons, Georgian and Ossetian, facilitate their reconciliation and assist investigations into alleged war crimes on all sides. So far, the Russians are claiming that the Ossetians and Abkhaz trust Moscow alone to carry out these tasks. But if the EU deploys only to territory controlled by Tbilisi, the EU is inherently recognising Georgia's

Moscow Never Sleeps

I've notice in store some days before national geographic's new addition from August 2008. It has very nice title photo with bold letters on it: Ancient Iran - inside a nation's Persian soul. Isn't it interesting? But I never got time to read this magazine, as I was all the August thinking about peace for Georgia, reading news, thinking, thinking, prying and hoping ... Yesterday I borrow magazine from library and today I start reading it. I love to start to read from the very beginning. I take my time to look all details on the front page, content. Sometimes I leave to read editors notes, as I've noticed it's not always interested part. OK, and now to the point. In this magazine is also very informative and nice written article about Russia today. I find article for you on internet as well, so here's the link below. But why I am posting it, is not that it's interesting and it talks about Russian society and about a lot of changes there during last years. I post the article as evidence for crocodile Kremlin (small joke on the edge. But to be honest, I was pleased, that somebody else was having same association as I have ;) )

Open Question » Canada's Role In the Georgian-Russian War?

The Question is Canada's Role In the Georgian-Russian War?

As in question itself are a lot of findings, my answer had to relate those things as well:

Everybody knows today weaknesses of own and neighbor countries, but to paint all things so black & White, is wrong. Russia is far away and Canada/Canadians know less about this country.

I think that American Interests (I mean continent/alliances) are still in Canadian interest. To show your (political) friends, you are not standing with them, can be incorrigible mistake, as you don't know when YOU need their help. And if you don't like USA, does it makes Russia automatically better partner for future? :) It's better for Canada to stand behind somebody as jump in front of somebody. It means do what everybody aspect you to do. It's better for Canada, I think so.

So my answer is, you should stand, where you belong. And in case, that you would like to make corrections on your 'friends' behavior, work on it, instead of running to Russia ;)

And as Georgian I know that nobody cares on us, as we have for world politic, as you said 0 importance, but it's first unfair, against international law and second very bad example what Russia can do ... and not only against small neighbors. So by ignoring or giving unjust less importance will not help at all. You have to face it.


P.S. to remind everybody here

On Aug. 2, after being escorted by a nuclear-powered icebreaker and another research vessel, two Russian mini-submarines traveled more than two miles below the ice at the North Pole and planted a titanium Russian flag in the seafloor, claiming the underwater territory for Moscow.
