Sarge,

Georgian territory? That is what is in dispute.

Whether a government has the right to assert its authority over any parts of its territory has no connection with whether it has been democratically elected or not. A democratically empowered government can stifle a minority just as effectively as a…

SuperLib,

I don't think I was making any assumptions. I think I was asking you why you think you support Georgia in following up on your comment that you thought you supported Georgia.

SuperLib,

Why do you think you support Georgia in this conflict?

The Georgia Soviet sat on the South Ossetians and refused them the right to be an autonomous republic within the Soviet Union. It barred regional parties and, despite the fact that only 30% of the population of South Ossetia…

kinniku,

I don't think US politicians can avoid questions from US citizens for 3 years. I think they can avoid questions from foreign citizens 'till the cows come home. I don't think the length of time is significant unless we want to also observe that in this length of time…

undecidedbout08,

Thanks for clearing that up. I think that is "your little thought experiment", so let me know when you get a result.

I think Condi's cup of tea is dealing with the Soviets. Dealing with the Russians is a different thing.

I don't think the theft of oil has much to do with the cease-fire in South Ossetia. However, there are many ways to steal oil. One way is to make sure that your own country's oil companies (and those of your buddies) get all the oil contracts.

It seems to…

kinniku,

I give you a 2-screen (on my computer) post. You give me 6, larded with with snippets of what I have said to you. Then for good measure, you add a coda in a separate post. Should I respond by quoting myself, then quoting you and then adding my…

undecidedbout08,

Were you talking to me? Who should go back to the Iowa primary and examine the results had Edwards not been up for consideration? How could a person do that? A thought experiment? A thought experiment based on what? What conclusion do you draw for this hypothetical scenario and…

kinniku,

That was your point? That Ahmadinejad didn't answer the question? I don't think so. I think your point was that he didn't answer the question so he is threatening Israel. If that was not, then we are left with him simply not answering the question, about which nothing more…
