Russia's aggressive proxy war on the West in Georgia

Russian jets have bombed targets in the Georgian town of Gori, about 25km (15 miles) from the intense fighting in South Ossetia. Here the BBC's Richard Galpin describes chaotic scenes in Gori on Saturday.

There are reports and confirmed eyewitness videos from Georgian, Russian and independent sides that several Georgian military bases were bombed by Russian aircraft and a port in the south of the country, on the Black Sea coast a long way from here.

Clearly the Russians are choosing a lot of targets around the country. And they claim to want to restore peace by bombing military and civilian targets all over Georgia?

I do not know who Russia wants to fool but bombing parts of a country far from the conflict region is an act of war, violation of national sovereignty and an act of genocide.

The Armenian genocide: The sad truth

It is called by many names but the most popular ones include Armenian Holocaust, The Great Calamity, Armenian Massacre but the name I prefer using, when considering the single greatest event that has the most influence throughout the 20th century and into the 21st century, would be the Armenian Genocide. Unlike the many other events and marvels that spawned in the 20th century, the Armenian Genocide was the first systematic genocide to take place in the modern world, in the name of political ambitions, religious intolerance and racial discrimination. Moreover, unlike the other wonders of the 20th century, this genocide is the second most studied genocide in history and is acknowledged by only twenty-one nations out of the one-hundred-and-ninety-three member global community.

What can we really do for Darfur?

Build the Pressure on Sudan... That is all we can do for Darfur right now. I want to give you a first look at the new Save Darfur Coalition TV ad.

The ad is powerful, pointing to years of Sudan's broken promises and empty agreements to the international community. All the while, the images remind us that the people of Darfur continue to suffer - and that the death toll in the world's worst humanitarian crisis is still rising.
