Exactly right. Conflict often involves (shocker) TWO sides usually. And while neither side is going to come out particularly unscathed. If studying History has taught me anything it's that well... fact is a fallacy in many cases. They're manipulated. Media intrusion speeds up this process. Hell just look at WWI for this, it marks the onset of a new age of propaganda war.

Bringing this to the present day.. Yes Russian action is as I said, undiplomatic and aggressive... but Georgia has been rather belligerent also. I just want to see a peaceful end to the whole sorry affair. It's damaged both countries' standing in the world if you ask me.

Heather, if you ask me the quality of the BBC has been waning for so long... It's such a shame there's not a single viable and somewhat credible alternative out there. We should take over.. we bloody should! We'd make it realistic. We'd go out old-school, sod all the equipment, sod all the fancy VT's... one camera, one microphone. Two people. That's why the BBC's as skint as it is.. They have hangers-on. They're essentially becoming the Paris Hilton of the broadcasting world. And that's not even getting started with the (lack of) quality programming now available on said network...

HA, you knocked the nail right on the head with Sarkozy! Something about him just reminds me of a French Tony Blair. Hell he has to be better than Jacques Chirac. And don't even get me started on Jean-Marie Le Pen, imagine if that lunatic was in charge. I'd actaully consider invasion.
