2×4: That was unnecessary.

Because I see both sides does not make me an idiot. Quite the opposite.

I obviously read more than one blog.

If you don’t support continued terrorism in Abkhazia and the childishness of continued claims by a demogogue that “we will militarily win back that land” than I have no beef with you.

It was one thing to say that we would never deal with Osama Bin Laden or any of his demands…but fight on forever until he and his supporters are dead.

But it is sick to have that attitude about Russia and this demand regarding Abkhazia.

Read up on Saakvashili before you back the man like he is a God (or your representative in the region).

A reasonable man would let Sarkozy send the French to lounge on those beaches (after which the French will enjoy more trade with Europe’s biggest economy).
