When I watch CNN and BBC, I remember George Orwell’s “1984″.
They show you only what they want you to see.
You don’t know that Georgia, breaking all the agreements, has come to South Ossetia, demolishing towns and villages, starting genocide of Ossetian pople (more than 2000 people now).
You don’t know that Tskhinvali, capitall of South Ossetia now lay in ruins.
You don’t see peacefull ossetian people, children, women who die under fire of georgian multiple artillery rocket systems.
Georgian soldiers shot russian citizens and peacekeepers.
That’s why Russia there (after 24 hours after this slaughter started) – to safe human lifes and to prevent humanitarian disaster.

I’ve never seen such a liar like Georgia’s president Saakashvilli.

And I see your democracy is only fairy tale for adults…
