Aristides,

Yeah, I noticed that my statement could’ve easily been worn on the other foot, but that doesn’t mean it fits. I’m by no means an expert in these matters, but I will try to defend my statement. It’s about motives, is it not? Georgia certainly had a motive for entering S. Ossetia, but it wasn’t just to pound nails, or if it was then insanity rules there and all bets are off. Russia entering Georgia, and all of her behavior since, reek of a country frustrated, angry, whatever and shooting at the first thing that moves.

Like I said, just my 2 cents.
