I cannot pretend to understand what is happening in Georgia right now. I feel like we're hearing very different versions from both sides, and it seems that the U.S. has a stake in the chosen perception applied to events.
Depending on who you read or listen to, blame seems to be laid in different places... but what seems strikingly clear is that this is connected to (or at least strongly influenced by) oil. Big surprise. At which point, I wonder again why we are not investing more time and energy into alternative energy resources and streams so that we can eventually become less dependent on oil and coal - be it foreign or domestic - because they are inevitably finite.
The bottom line is, people are dying in horrible ways... people who did not directly choose to be a part of the conflict. I hope peace is restored soon or at least that the violence lessens. It seems like there's already so much conflict and dying in the world.
Perhaps that's a naive statement, but some days that feeling consumes my heart.
