That was because of the USA.  Don\'t ever forget it. Given Muslim ingratitude, next time I\'d prefer the same approach taken with Japan in WW2.\n\nSecond, I notice in your list of countries/forces that you omit \"Palestinians,\" \"Muslims,\" and \"Arabs.\"  Are atrocities no problem if committed by them?");
AddReply(336981,"Transnistria 4th?","Ari Rusila","JKL, Finland","08/27/08","Now when Russia is backing independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia following Georgia\'s assault Aug. 7. Both countries won de-facto independence in the 1990s after wars with the government in Tbilisi.  The road which started from Kosovo UDI seems to continue long because it is estimated that there is about five thousand ethnic groups on globe.\n\nAfter Georgia\'s separatists my bet is that in Europe Transnistria could be the next breakaway province.  \nSandwiched between Moldova and Ukraine Transnistria has a defined territory, a population, effective elected authority, and the capability to enter into international relations. The economy is export-oriented and based on a mix of heavy industry and manufacturing having export already to nearly 100 countries.\n\nMore info about Transnistria e.g. from www.tiraspoltimes.com and full comment http://arirusila.wordpress.com\n");
AddReply(336238,"Israeli Tolerance is Killing It","Dave Levy","Burbank. CAUSA","08/25/08","There are obvious differences, which really tell it all. Israel is a democracy, small, and very vulnerable. It also has a divided, fragmented population, and horrible gov\'t. Georgia\'s people are united (against Russia). Russia is 3 times size of US, and, like China..a semi-police state. It doesn\'t appreciate protests even among it\'s own people and is ruthless to quell them (and has done so recently). Israel allows a group of activists free entry into Gaza waters. Israel allows protests to a fault (except by Jews who are against giving away land for nothing). Israel frees terrorists who attempted to murder Jews, instead of hanging them. So what can we expect of Israel? No country, I repeat, no country would tolerate what Israel routinely does, in the name of liberal democracy. ");

The US ambassador to Moscow, John Beyrle,said e.g. \n\"Now we see Russian forces, which responded to attacks on Russian peacekeepers in South Ossetia, legitimately...\". He said Washington had not sanctioned Georgia\'s initial actions when on August 8, after a succession of tense skirmishes, Georgian forces attacked South Ossetia, triggering a massive Russian reaction when its peacekeepers there came under fire. \"We did not want to see a recourse to violence and force and we made that very, very clear,\" Beyrle was cited as saying in quotes the US embassy confirmed as accurate. \"The fact that we were trying to convince the Georgian side not to take this step is clear evidence that we did not want all this to happen\". Russia had a cause to apply force - slaughter of 1492 South Ossetians civilians.\nMore: http://arirusila.wordpress.com");

If you say that Osetians have an autonomous region in Russia (North Osetia), I can reply that Jews have one too (Birobidjan). So South Osetia=Israel, and South osetia has the right of existance no less then Israel. I agree with the first comment, about the paralell with KOSMET and its Albanian seperatists. \nBut back to South Osetia: Its people lived there longer then most Israelis in Israel.

AddReply(335851,"1st Kosovo, 2nd Georgia, 3rd ?","Ari Rusila","Finland","08/23/08","Kosovo\'s unilateral proclamation of independence from Serbia Feb.2008 played a key role in developments of Georgia. There may be endless disputes over whether this has created a legal precedent or not, but realpolitik takes its course regardless. The claim of Western powers that Kosovo is an unique case showed be a joke almost when UDI based to their orchestration opened the Pandora box.  Now Georgia, later maybe Nagorno-Karabah, Bolivia etc.\n\nThe root of the problem is that the international community cannot agree on rules for the independence of small regions.  I agree with those who said, that Kosovo status - as well other conflicts - can be determine only by negotiations, not by imposition. \n\nThe steps forward could be starting real negotiations between local stakeholders with support interested Great Powers and without determined outcome.\nMore: http://arirusila.wordpress");

If the local military administration doesn\'t want to bother with sending trains to Siberia, the leftists would simply disappear.\n\nIsrael permits the outrages against it because Israel knows in its heart that it is an illegitimate entity.
