OP, could you post former President Gorbachev’s comments on the Ossetian crisis?
Dear Marjorie,
Whereas I am regrettably not able to refer you to the correct source at this point, I may nevertheless point to Mikhail Gorbachev’s article in Tuesday’s Washington Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/08/11/AR2008081101372.html?nav=rss_opinion/columns
Yours,
Vilhelm
Thank you for the reference Vilhelm.
A rational analysis by former President Gorbachev.
Unfortunately, the Bush administration seems more concerned with anti Russian rhetoric and planting hostile forces along Russia’s borders including a new ABM system in Eastern Europe.
Best regards,
Marjorie
Just thought I’d post the link to a petition which denounces the Georgian aggression for what it is, and which seeks to dismantle the anti-Russian drivel that is being perpetuated by Western media:
