Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

What Really Happened in Georgia

Thanks to the webmaster at "whatreallyhappened.com" for the following information on the situation in the nation of Georgia.

Remember that what started this conflict was that a still-unidentified artillery unit shelled a Russian camp killing ten men and wounding thirty more.

Such an act is a provocation that was guaranteed to produce a reaction from Russia.

Now, ask yourself why Georgia would do something that stupid.

Then ask yourself who else in the area had artillery.


I don't have answers to those questions. The main thing to remember is that under its constitution Russia was forced to act when its citizens were killed.

But the larger question is Why would Georgia create a crisis? What would be the purpose? And was any foreign power backing Georgia?
