Okay, Russian troops are in Georgia. "We come as peacekeers", they say. "But we don't want you there", - Georgians reply. Well, who cares? Did the US ask Serbs if they want them in Kosovo? Of course, not. The Serbs would much rather keep smashing Albanians. Just like Georgians, given the opportunity, started razing Ossetian villages and pounded their capital to ashes. Now, in the best Western traditions, Russia is starting a humanitarian offensive (remember Belgrade? there were a lot of humanitarian achievements those days). Of course, we expect an outcry from Western media. That's what Russia media did, when the US bombed Yugoslavia or invaded Iraq. Luckily, nobody heard our cries. But not to worry, we won't hear yours, either.
