Friends or foes? by Barbora Misakova

A man is a very magisterial creature. When we look back it's hardly to say who was more greedy. But probably the biggest problem is, that from times of old Roman provinces until today we can hardly see any progress. The only progress is seen in the intensity of human cupidity. Just like a man couldn't see all that fortune he has, as he couldn't see all those treasures which his ancestors gave to him. Just like a human eyes were able to see only things they don't possess, and so they are longing for them constantly. No one is satisfied with ancestral power and land, every one would like to have more and more. Just like a greedy flies trying to sit first on the corpse. It is not my aim to blame particular governments or countries. My aim is to blame a man, all human race. World war first and second, they both rose just because particular men didn't know when to stop. And after all those terrible experiences, after all that violence, blood and tears, we are not directed. What is more, we are digging back all those old, bloody paths. Why are we doing this? Are we really so greedy or is it because we believe it is easier to walk them than to build a brand new one? Or is it just because we are too proud to forget about old conflicts?

Russia versus Georgia. Giant versus troll. But both have its heart, both have its head, and so both of them should have a right to use them as they want. As George Bush said in Washington: "sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia (must) be respected." But it is not, especially by Russians. Seized cars, looted houses and lot of burned houses & that's the picture which Russian soldiers and their allies left. And even though politics around the world are expressing their disappointment and disagreement with Russian movements, they are still threating a neighbor, occupying a capital and trying to overthrow Georgian government. Thousands of people are running away from their country. But where are they running? U.S. is sending clothes, blankets, medicine and other supplies. Are they trying to help or are they just fighting a war against Russia? As Saakashvili said "Russian are fighting a proxy war with the West through us." As it wasn't enough. The whole oddity of this situation was culminated by the Olympic beach volleyball match where Georgia beat Russia two sets to one and by the statement of Levan Akhtulediani, the Georgian beach volleyball team leader, who said "Russia and Georgia are actually friends." So lets stop the fighting, dear friends.
