    The White House warned Moscow it cannot unilaterally decide the fate of South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

    Bunch of two faced jerks in Washington. They took a unilateral approach when decided to attack Iraq. But when it applies to someone else, Oh Gawd no, you can't do that.

    This administration has it's head up their butts.

    And please, you george bush supporters, tell me how this is so much different. < :-)

    Looks like Russia wants to go at it alone. Good luck with that.

    The West set the precedent by declaring Kosovo to be independent, against the wishes of Serbia, Russia, China etc. They have no grounds to complain about what Russia is doing in Georgia.

    adaydream;

    The Russians are trying to increase their "empire" and return to their Soviet days.

    Russia should stop being provocative, or missles may be raining down on Moscow soon.

    I spoke with Chancellor Merkel this morning to make the European position uniform, harder and categorical concerning Russia in the context of the crisis in the Caucasus,” Premier Donald Tusk told reporters

    It will be regretful for PM Tusk saying such unappropiate statement. Winter is coming and the western europe needs Russia's natural gas to keep warm....

    Mikheil Saakashvili .........He was a puppet in cross hair like Dudayev! His days was numbered

    Dudayev was a real man, great warrior.Unlike armchair commie generals like you, he fought and died like a real man.

    EU,USA, Russia,georgian,south ossetians and others need to find solutions to problems in georgia/ossetia.

    There no point giving away mutual trade benefits of Russia/others because of these problems here.

    I am sure jimmy carter or others can start a long process of peace deals talks, break through.

    Well Mother Russia is flexing her muscles and she's all drunk on oil revenue. What can you expect when the country is run by an ex KGB agent? Unless you believed Bush' amatuer assesment of Putin back a few years ago ("I looked into his eyes and saw a good man" or some such crap). Russia is longing for a return to the Soviet Empire days you remember the ones built by the Soviets while "liberating" countries from the Japanese and Germans but not returned after wwII. I would say the rest of the world better wake up and realise that they have much to fear from Moscow should they decline to be in the western sphere of influence. By the way reddragoguy while were talking about puppets what would you cal Medvedev since Putin still runs the show?

    sorry above should read "should they choose to be in the western sphere of influence"

    Western EU,need energy from russia to keep warm, the parties of this conflict must sit and dialogue their differences. Energy trade between EU/Russia must continue to keep EU warm.

    Where they(EU) want to get their energy solutions, in ossetia/georgia.
