i did a google search on the cease fire, and i found a very interesting response on a news website from a russian civilian. whether this is true or not, is beyond me. but this turns the tables majorly, and points to Georgia.

"It is evident that many people in the world do not clearly understand what is really happening in the S.Ossetia due to being ill-informed. The conflict has been launched at night, Aug.7 to 8, by Georgian troops invading South Ossetia, destroying the City of Tskhinval with heavy armament and massacring hundreds of Ossetian civilians. The picture with "missile bombardment of Georgia", reportedly by Russian army, demonstrated by many TV channels was in fact that of Georgian attack on the South Ossetia and it was shown by Russian TV more than 12 hours before the American and European media reported about "Russian agression against Georgia". I personally saw these TV reports when the Georgian invasion has began, but at that time all western media were keeping deathly silence. There were NO Russian troops, except the peace-keepers (staying here from 1992 according to international mandate) within the South Ossetia until the Georgian invasion from Aug.8.08. And now it is presented as if it is Russia who first attacked Georgia! Please, draw conclusions yourselves! I'm from Russia, my e-mail:

i guess if you have questions, send that guy an email. he put it out publicly.
@ flightsim, i too am pretty worried where this is going to take us. a day ago it was reported that the fighting was slowing down, however prodigy brought forth multiple sources saying otherwise. i apologize for not being up to date. anyway, i guess the only thing we can do is see what happens in the coming days. hopefully they will be able to get this resolved diplomatically.
