In one repect, the Russian action is justifiable insofar as the Georgians picked this fight by enforcing their right to govern Ossetia despite the large Russian population. The Russians, however, in moving to protect their citizens, have as ever, used a 20 lb hammer to crack a nut.
Esme
Surely that cannot be a jusitfiable reason. South Ossetia is part of Georgia- the fact it has a high Russian ethnicity is irrelevant- it is part of the country of Georgia and can be governed however Georgia wishes without political or physical interference from neighbours. It is Georgian sovereign territory
Thats the very reason Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia in 1938- to protect the Germans in the Sudetanland
Its all going a bit Pete Tong over there
Hmm, personally there are few justifiable reasons for military aggression, however what we have here is a situation where the Georgians initiated military action against the separatists, allowing the Russian bear to attack under the pretext of defending Russian citizens; but there is no question that the Russians initially stirred up unrest in South Ossetia, provoking the Georgian response…and round and round it goes, with accusation and counter-accusation and collective sphincters braced for another potentially catastrophic conflict in the name of fuc.k knows what.

LENNY KRAVITZ – I BUILD THIS GARDEN FOR US
In this garden
This lovely garden
I build a temple of love
Walk with the Father
Won’t be a bother
To touch the Earth as it wasWe’ll farm the land each day
And in the sunshine we will play
Glory glory for the day He came
Our tears had gone away
We’ll make love in the shade
And in the ocean we will bathe
Little fishies in the sea
Say hoorayI build this garden for us
In this garden
Our children will grow
Darling this is a must
We’ll be so happy
Our little family
So full of love and trustAnd darling when we’re old
We’ll close the gates and lock the door
Our love will never fade away
When it’s pure it’s forever last
And darling when you’re cold
I’ll hold you tight and keep you warm
Little darlin’ gonna make it through the storm
You’ll never be aloneI build this garden for us
In this garden
They’ll be no war
No racial prejudice
You’ll be my brother
Of any color
You’ll just be okay with us
We’ll love each day in peace
In hope that we will one day reach
The rest of the world
When they are ready to be teached
The kingdom will come
Thy will be done
On Earth as it is in heavenI build this garden
I build this garden for usI build this garden for us
Pink Floyd “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there’s a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!
These guys blew my mind way back in the day, and it’s still blowin’..
Seals & Crofts – Summer Breeze
See the curtains hangin’ in the window, in the evenin’ on a Friday night.
A little light a-shinin’ through the window, lets me know everything is alright.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.See the paper layin’ in the sidewalk, a little music from the house next door.
So I walked on up to the doorstep, through the screen and across the floor.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.Sweet days of summer, the jasmine’s in bloom. July is dressed up and playing her tune.
And I come home from a hard day’s work, and you’re waiting there, not a care in the world.
See the smile a-waitin’ in the kitchen, food cookin’ and the plates for two.
See the arms that reach out to hold me, in the evening when the day is through.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.
Summer breeze, makes me feel fine, blowing through the jasmine in my mind.whilst this one makes me wistful and weepy..
Seals & Crofts – We May Never Pass This Way Again
Life, so they say, is but a game and we let it slip away.
Love, like the Autumn sun, should be dyin’ but it’s only just begun.
Like the twilight in the road up ahead, they don’t see just where we’re goin’.
And all the secrets in the Universe, whisper in our ears
And all the years will come and go, take us up, always up.
We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.Dreams, so they say, are for the fools and they let ’em drift away.
Peace, like the silent dove, should be flyin’ but it’s only just begun.
Like Columbus in the olden days, we must gather all our courage.
Sail our ships out on the open sea. Cast away our fears
And all the years will come and go, and take us up, always up.
We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again.So, I wanna laugh while the laughin’ is easy. I wanna cry if it makes it worthwhile.
We may never pass this way again, that’s why I want it with you.
‘Cause, you make me feel like I’m more than a friend. Like I’m the journey and you’re the journey’s end.
We may never pass this way again, that’s why I want it with you, baby.We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.
We may never pass this way again. We may never pass this way again.Oh what a darling boy you are Sgt. thank you for the beautiful ‘Le Cygne.’ What may I offer in return? A favoured composer..a stunning work..a magnificent ballet..
From ‘The Book Of One Thousand And One Nights’ Rimsky-Korsakov’s SCHEHERAZADE (premiered in St. Petersburg, October 1888)set to a ballet by Michel Fokine, danced here by Igor Kolb and Riu Ji-yeon as the young Prince and Princess…@rubyred wrote:
