I personally feel bad for Georgia. It seems like they were mislead by America. For a country with such high moral values, this was disapointing. We gave them the finances in weaponry, yet when they needed us, America did nothing.

I also feel that this conflict is the first of many that will follow, because of oil. America is one of the highest consumers in oil. There's definitely more conflict to come considering what little oil we have left.

As the previous bloggers have stated before, I myself an African American stand with the people from Georgia as they go through this dark period. I want to send my prayers and blessings and hope that this cease-fire agreement will take hold and create immediate peace between both nations, although death and animosity still lingers in the air. I also want to as a young African American, apologize for the feeling of betrayal and neglect for our response through these troubling times. You know people talk about Russia's history and "track record" on how it treats fellow man along with there own people. Some would say that Russia has a dark past. Might I add though.....DONT WE ALL! The American Government has no right to talk about someone and there history to human rights, when then this country till this day is racially divided and socially torn between different religious, racial, economical, and political parties. You can't for once talk down on Russia for there past when The United States has such a dark history. A history of intrusion, false accusations, hate, and unjust to there own Americans as well as other nations. I for one have seen it first hand. How can the American government talk to another nations leader in a chastising manner about nuclear weapons and the US government is the one who opened up Pandora’s box. I mean we don’t even acknowledge the event that took place on Aug. 6th 1945. Even when there are still survivors alive this present day. To all those Georgians that have the feeling of betrayal done by the U.S, I apologize on my country's behalf. For my whole life and from my experiences and the visions that are embedded in my mind, along with the stories of unjust and demoralizing events that have taken place. I understand the betrayal that you feel, and my prayers and blessings go out to The people of Georgia, Russia, Iraq, and Darfur. The American Gov. has failed us all. We are all equal, no matter ethnicity or your religious background. The respect we must have for one another is automatically mutual, which is something that the Americans who have been miss-guiding us don't understand. One love to all, and may all who read sleep in peace without fear.

YouTube shows a video of a Russian cameraman testifying that it was, in fact, Tskhinvali. Having walked the city up and down, he could name the exact location where the footage took place. Can CNN confirm or dispute this allegation, or will you just keep censoring the posts?

Thanks!

We invade a country and naturally feel responsible for recontruction. But when another country invades a country, we also feel responsible? Even though a country we are rebuilding is sitting on billions of dollars? As a struggling restaurant owner, trying to keep my taxes paid and having our government threatening to come in and take my money to cover another country's rebuilding and cover other failing economic disasters because of this, seems all wrong.

I am so disgusted with this whole picture. Why am I so worried about keeping my employees, paying my vendors and keeping my business operating when it seems not one person in our government is concerned about what is happening to the distruction of small business owners here in our own country.

When the atrocities are shown many people that have sided with Georgia are going to see how crazy Saakashvili really is. Even his own bodyguards say he has delusions that people are going to kill him and he just starts running in circles.

I think oil only has a small part to play here.....of course it factors into the mathematics but not to a large degree. The facts – Saakashvili picked a fight with someone expecting his new buddies to back him.....and they did not.

So at the end of the day what has been done. He has killed 2000 people out of a population of 70,000. Had another 30,000 flee into N Ossetia and Russia. Destroyed whole cities and intentionally killed women and children. I am not talking about causalities that always happen in war. We are talking about shooting women and children in the street as they run for cover. Our press is not showing this but many of the European stations now have video.......this should be very interesting when the videos hit BBC.........I doubt CNN will show them since they have shown 100% bias to Georgia.
