Today is exactly one year since Georgia attacked South Ossetia. How many people got killed? How many people wish they did? What's the worse is that people who tried to help civilians were blamed for these deaths. I will never understand why people who posted pictures taken by a nurse who died trying to save people in Tshenvale, city that got bombed on the first day and this web site said that this pictures were taken in Georgia and this is what Russian military did, they knew it was a lie and they said it anyway. Why when Italian channel showed footage of Georgian military going into Tshenvale they said it was Russia military. Soldiers were speaking Georgian for god's sake. Why when a girl who survived in Tshenvale started saying that it was Georgians who were attacking them and Russians saved them the host of the show went to a commercial break to keep it down and not let a girl say anything else. Why after Georgia promised to give a safe passage out of Tshenvale they ended up attacking those who they promised to let go? Why do people who survived have to be sorry they survived while their loved once died? Why did the whole world believed a man who is proud that he is a lot like Stalin? Saakashvili told the whole world that him and Stalin were born on the same day and they are very much alike. Why even after it was already proven that Saakashvili is the one who started the war, so many refuse to believe it? For god's sake Georgians hate their own president because they know that he was the one who started this war, why can't everyone else finally realise it. How many proves are needed for people to see who started the war? how many people have to speak of their loved once who died because of this aggression? Why did these people had to gather body parts of their loved once? And why is there still such thing as war out there? Why do we keep on electing psychopaths who don't mind killing yet another bunch of innocent people? Why were journalists not allowed to go to Ossetia during this conflict? They were only able to go to Georgia and were only able to report one side of the story but not another.
I'm watching a documentary dedicated to this dreadful day and the stories people tell about what it took them to survive causes me physical pain. I can't help but to cry. What happened a year ago can't be called anything other then one of the biggest crimes in the history of this world. There is no reason a pregnant woman should be laying perfectly still on the cold, damp ground for over 8 hours just so a sniper wouldn't see that she is alive. There is no reason a mother should see her son die knowing that if only he didn't come over for a few days to visit her, he would've been alive. How much longer can we allow people like Saakashvili to be in charge of the whole country? How many rooms that were once kid's rooms will turn into a museum dedicated to the genocide of Ossetian people? Why are there so many people who feel sorry for Saakashville because he got clawed by Russian bear for trying to step on a small South Ossetia?
PS: I'm glad to learn that good people of Georgia and doing their best to turn Saakashvili's life to hell.
