Having already experienced one war in my lifetime that took almost everything away from me, I personally think war is the worst thing to ever plague mankind. War in modern Europe is just the West's way of saying "we want this" and East's way of saying "we're not handing it over". It's a conflict of interests between small groups of wealthy, corrupted people, namely politicians. And the ones who pay the price are always the civilians, who are so insignificant in the grand scheme of every war fought to acquire oil, they can't even be considered pawns, they're just fodder.

The situation in Georgia is no exception to this. Expect a huge amount of bias, lies, exaggerations etc. to circle the media in the next few months, possibly years concerning casualties, events pertaining to military actions and so on. Russia apparently wants to support the South Ossetian separatist government and as such calls itself a peace-keeping force. The one and only thing we'll hear from the Russians is that they're the ones being attacked, and although this seems to be the case, with several Russian soldiers being killed days before the actual war started, it's no wonder they deem it necessary to make a point. Bush, the worst terrorist in the world, was eager to go to war once he was elected, just to show everyone how big and brave he is. Nobody objected back then, but there's an awful amount of bullshit and protesting going on about Russia attacking Georgia due to an internal conflict.

But let's not forget about the oil, hmmkay? We all know the U.S. equipped the Georgian military after it cut off from the Soviet Union in the 90's. Russia wants to control the pipelines there, of course - neither side is an exception in this case.

It's a shame, this whole ordeal, that's for sure. But hell, Bush can't stand the fact that 1% of the global oil is fluxed through Georgia and the Russians may get their hands on it and vice versa. I just hope they'll settle this soon, but it seems unlikely...
