Here's a poll for everybody

http://georgia-vs-russia.com/

As of now
Total votes: 161074

I support Georgia 23.7%
I support Russia 76.3%

Come on!
Let's change those numbers

Why would we want to change the numbers? They may be correct.

This was a conflict caused by Georgia when they decided to use their military against it's own civilian population. Some of those people were Russians. Russia defended its people.

It's the media that's trying to put the spin on it to make it look like Big Bad Ivan is in the wrong here. Unless you were there, you really don't know the facts. None of us do. Until then, I'm less inclined to believe the spin and more inclined to listen to the eyewitness reports.

We had a problem bear named Bruno two years ago, who strolled from Italy over the Alpes into Bavaria, Germany. Strolling as he did, he ended like this:

The Finnish team used special dogs to try to find Bruno
Finns were after him also.

That was my daddy!

You'll pay for THAT!

See, when it was the last time we visited Berlin...

wildlife experts say it is time to prepare for the return of more bears.

Gee... They might be right...
