Not that you care all that much...

[dmc]

Unfortunately politicians / leaders who are often less than fully developed demonstrate their particular paranoia on the rest of us daily causing much misery --- that's why we NEED a HEALTHY skepticism about most anything they utter

Be careful... ComeBackPuddles may get you banned for dissent.. .

[ComeBackMudPuddles]

So if I dont' follow the status quo here - I get a thread locked?
I can't defend my country against these types of verbal attacks?

Is this America?

Of course I feel sorry for his family... Anybody who knows me personally knows I am a super caring person...


I'm a patriot.. I love my country...

Hang in there dmc...;-), the Conservatives in power that believe in history taught by Limbaugh..& McCain...do outnumber us, but it doesn't make their history accurate. Just because they're louder, doesn't make for factual truth....
What has given diplomacy a bad name is the way that corrupt politicians give away the store for financial favors under the table.....

And while everyone so far has managed to gracefully skirt the Politics borderline, bigbog manages to drive a dumptruck through it with the grace of a drunk slipping in his own vomit. Well done.

Things are still degenerating in Georgia, hope your family is out of harm's way. I doubt this will resolve itself any time soon. Russia wants Georgia back under the fold.

My family is fine at this time. My dad is still there because he refuses to fly home ("run away" as he calls it) and leave his mother and brother behind.

Looks like the announcement that the US signed a deal with Poland on defence sheild isn't helping peace talks.

 

[Marc]

Glad your family's OK Kore.

Damnit all, I really wanted to go skiing there too.

Sure beats skiing at Killington.

Well after a week or so..

It appears that the West does care... It's all thats on the news now.. And we sent our Sec Of State over..

In fact - I'm getting scared with all the "posturing" going on... Between Russia,US,Poland,Georgia... And all the other "breakaway" states...

Cool... About being safe...
Understandable him wanting to stay..

If I was living in another country and the US was under attack and I was there - I'd stay - I'm sure many of us would do the same..

Is your Dad a US citizen?
Does the US have an embassy in Georgia?

They may get refuge status just to escape - temporarily ... Having your Dad there could be a good thing if he's a US citizen...

Glad to hear you family is doing good.

 

[koreshot]

Yeah, my dad is a US citizen and he can travel back to the states whenever he wants, but he doesn't want to.

Things are starting to look up, the EU and US have put some good pressure on Russia in the last 48 hours with Rice arriving and all that. Unfortunately, Russia has already done plenty of damage to a number of towns/villages/cities.

Too bad the Georgian pres is dumb enough to attack Ossetia to begin with. Not only was it a bad strategic and military move, it put the Ossetians (who he says are part of Georgia) in danger. I find it hard to believe that he got US permission to attack. Reckless and wrong. He should probably step down.

I'm glad stuff is calming down over there..
