Your English is far, far, far better than my Spanish.

PLATO, Zkribbler:
My thanks. I try to improve it everyday (and one way is posting on english-speaking forums, like this one).

And back on-topic: Georgia won a couple of gold medals. Yay for them.

There was a large protest in Vilnius today, and I couldn't help but post one picture. GWAR IN GEORGIA!!!

What's the banner say (the banner below the GWAR in Georgia banner)?

Russia has never renounced or denounced ethnic cleansing. Thus, the Ossetian irregulars are serving a role useful to the Russian state. They are killing and/or driving out the ethnic Georgians from Ossetia. The Russians do not want this stopped.

The facts that these actions are cruel and brutal are quite incidental to them. Russia told Georgia not to intervene in Ossetia. The current cruelties are one of the punishments applied to those who do not listen.

The West needs to gear up to prevent repeats in the Baltic states, Ukraine, and/or Moldava. Condemning Russian behavior doesn't seem to be very useful. Stalin, when told that one of his actions had been condemned by the Pope, famously asked, "How many divisions does the Pope have?" I think Putin would find that story delightful. He may already know and admire it.

Ironically, Stalin was a Georgian.

The chicks in Georgia appear not to be hot.

Actually I was after the other pic.

OMG this thread is like, so last week.

[SlowwHand]

OMG, how about this, then? How long do American's expect there to be no military conscription? Or in Britain?

[Lancer]

When Iraq winds down loads of people will join up Sloww. Particularly as the economy is in recession.

[SlowwHand]

Hope so. I hope they know that just because Iraq winds down, that other places exist.

[Lancer]

Sure, but they'll be mostly chasing Polish girls and swilling Polish booze. What do the Poles drink?
