    DB--thanks for the post, this is great. Being that there is limited freedom of press in Russia and Georgia isn't letting any many journalists, it's tough to get the "truth" in this situation. But here is a post from another website I'm a member of: "I am currently in Tbilisi and bombing has not been stopped during the last 3 nights... Most parts of Georgia has been completely destroyed....the list is too long... It is a little bit quiet in Tbilisi at this point but the planes are still flying over the city. Just this morning from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. four-five places were bombed in different places!" Pretty frightening . . . Anyway, the whole situation seems to involve a very tough legal issue: On one hand, we have the claim that Georgia was involved in "ethnic cleansing" in Ossetia and that Russia intervened to protect its own people, while on the other hand, we have the fact that Ossetia is in the territory of Georgia, so any involvement by Russia is technically an invasion of Georgia.
