The Russians have deliberately targeted apartment buildings because it is possible to kill and injure large numbers of civilians with a very small military expenditure.

Russia has been targeting civilians in Georgia to spread terror in that nation.

To Mr. Taco: You say Georgia started the war:

That is false. Russia had massed troops and military equipment on the Georgian border for months in preparation for the invasion of the Sovereign Nation of Georgia.

You also say don’t mess with the Russians.

In other words you say that it is permissible for Russia to invade Sovereign nations that do not threaten Russia.

I see that you think that it permissible for Russia to invade it’s neighbors the same way that Adolf Hitler did.

the rest of us in the world have decided that behavior is not permissible.
To Corvus: You said the Georgia started the war.

that is false. Russia had massed troops and military equipment on the border of Georgia for months in preparation for the invasion of Georgia.

You tell me to shut up.

My response to you is that you are a fool. You do not know what you are talking about.

Do not waste my time with your foolish answers when you have no clue as to what you are talking about.

To: Francher: Referring to the Russian attacks on innocent civilians, you say that everyone does it.

That is false. Not everyone does it. Also, Georgia is a Sovereign nation. Georgia is not a part of Russia that wants to secende.

Please do some research so that you know what you are talking about before you answer a question.
to Alex: You say that it is a lie, that there were Georgian bombs in neighboring warehouses.

That is false. You do not know what you are talking about. There were no bombs in warehouses in the vicinity of the apartment buildings that were attacked.

You say that civilian houses would disappear and not be burniing.

You do not have the slightes idea of what is going on in Georgia do you.

In fact many civilian apartment buildings were completely obliterated by the Russian bombing. The ones that were burning were the ones where the Russians missed their targets and the bombs fell next to them and not on top of them.
To smartblond48: You are not all that smart are you.

You said that the US military bombs schools, hospitals, and wedding parties.

That is completely false. The United States has gone to great lengths to avoid civiliantargets such as schools and hospitals.

The Muslim Terrorists have bombed a number of civilian targets including wedding parties however.

You say that if I will go after the Americans that you will go after the Russians.

Why do I not believe that you would ever go after the Russians?

Also, the United States has done a remarkable job of avoiding civilian targets.

the Russians have been deliberately attacking civilian targets.

You say that war is hell and there are no innocent bystanders.

I agree with you that war is hell, however your statement that there are no innocent bystanders is just foolish.

We have decided long ago that civilians are not to be targeted in war.

It is a violation of International law to target civilians.
To Leslie G: You said that Georgia attacked Russia first.

That is false. Russia had massed troops and military equipment on the Georgian border for months in preparation for the invasion of Georgia.

To Iggnant12: You say that George Bush has been doing the same thing in Iraq.

That is false. The United States has taken a great deal of care to avoid civilian targets in Iraq and is in fact prosecuting soldiers for harming civilians.

I recommend that you do some research and independent thinking rather than just swallowing the propaganda that is out there.
To Priestess Jean: You say they deny doing it deliberately.

Yes Russia denies doing it deliberately. However when civilians are targeted repeatedly then the logical conclusion is that it is not accidental.

Also Russia has an ugly history of Genocide.

Stalin murdered over 13 million Ukrainian civilians who disagreed with him.

Need I say more?

I see that the radical leftist kool aid drinkers have been busy answering your question with their foolish propaganda.

I have realtives who live in the region.

the Russians have a nasty habit of killing all of those who do not agree with them.

Stalin murdered over 13 million Ukraine citizens because they did not go along with Stalin. That is over double the number of Jewish people that Hitler murdered during the holocaust.

Yes, it appears that the Russian Generals, taking orders from Putin are targeting civilians to spread terror in the nation of Georgia.
