Thank you Skybird. I mostly agree with most of your opinions" and analytical essays, appriciated your try to be independent as much as possible.
I m originally from Russia, and proud to be an American Citizen.
I m not a Putin-guy, but most of media (CNN/FOX) even didnt mention that Tskhinvali (South Ossetia 's capital) was attacked by Georgian forces using multiple-launch rocket systems GRAD (!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9K51_Grad ). Can you imaging using rocket against city; GRAD works by squires.

15 Russian peacekeepers were killed instantly by Georgian peacekeepers. Russian troops were entered 10-12 hours after georgian launch and murdering russian soldiers.
Saakashvili can be a good prime minister( he is a good manager but not a president,and look at this ).
Conflict between Saakashvili and Putin even has personal aspects.
About Nato: When Soviet Union collapsed Russian received guarantees from NATO that it will not include former Soviet Union Republics, but NATO destroyed that promise.
PS Russian TV news sucks. There is only one way of news and it is Putin way. Visiting Russia 2003, 2004,2006 I was witness how chauvinism propaganda is raising. And I hate it.
Watching FOX / CNN I noticed that objectivity is out of american media in some cases.
