Russia is clearly in the wrong. They are attacking Georgia - clearly in areas outside of the conflict zone.
Russians are bombing civilian structures, cities, blocking food and medicine supplies into Georgia and is continually advancing troops into territories of Georgia even though Georgian troops have been holding a ceasefire for the past 48-72 Hours.
This is an act of aggression totally inappropriate for any superpower and violates numerous international treaties, laws and Georgian national sovereignty. It seems Russia wants to make sure Georgian government is overthrown and the territories split up and given independence.
This act by Russia is nothing short of a genocide! So how dare the Russians say the Georgians are committing genocide!
According to Russia, they are in the process of establishing "peace" in the territory of South Ossetia. But how is it that they are establishing this "peace" by bombing Georgian cities and airports (ship yards and military bases also) all across the country - when Georgia is observing a ceasefire???
I do not know who Russia is trying to convince but its clear Russia is clearly in the wrong now.
Russian troops are pushing from from South Ossetia in Georgia and is now outside the town of Gori. Russian forces have also entered Georgia from the breakaway region of Abkhazia. At the same time, Russia is arming the rebels in those regions to engage the Georgian troops and security personnel and then go into Georgian towns to "restore peace."
I think it is time some serious world powers get involved and kick Russian troops out of Georgia and its territories. That land is Georgia's and Georgian people and the government do not want Russia there - so why is Russia trying to enforce "peace?"

US Troops in Georgia
US President George W Bush has defended plans for the US military to train and equip troops in the former Soviet republic of Georgia.
The US involvement has drawn criticism from Moscow which has traditionally regarded Georgia as part of its sphere of influence.
Washington has already sent at least six helicopters and unconfirmed US media reports say up to 200 special forces may be deployed.
The US has been keen to stress that any military aid to Georgia would have to be formally requested and would be limited to training and equipment - no US troops would be directly involved in fighting.
US forces will have the right, however, to act in self-defence, said a Pentagon spokesman.

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.
