Today it will be very idiotic move - to create or rebuild coalition with Yushchenko. This man is dead as politician. Sometimes I think he's simply mad. If there really was Ukrainian military helping Georgians to kill Russian peacekeepers, it will be the real proof of that. And, of course, that will change everything in relations between countries.

Alright, I usually try to stay out of the petty bickering, but this is the first I've heard of Ukrainian military actively assisting the Georgians during Russia's recent aggression.

Did you make that up yourself, or does that come from the very reliable Kremlin news agency?

If it came from any Pentagon and White HOuse controlled American news media, then you may have your doubts. Apparently there is evidence that Ukraine had some boots on the ground in Georgia during the South Ossetian slaughter and the killing of Russian peacekeepers.
Are you also confused about the Ukraine's arm sales to Georgia for the South Ossetian genocide and attacks on Russian Peacekeepers also?
If you try do your own research instead of relying on Western propaganda you may learn the truth.

I was in the western media for years, I know exactly how accurate it is, which is to say, not very.
But it seems to be a lot more accurate than what I see coming out of Russia. Has anyone found those 1500 bodies in Tskhinvali?

Don't know exactly how many innocent Russian civilians have been slaughtered by that American backed lunitic Saakashvili in his unprovoked attack on civilian targets and peacekeeper targets.
One innocent life is one too many.

Why would anyone start a story like this, when there is no reliable news source for that area. One cannot believe the Russian news as it is now govenment controlled, started under Mr. Putin. there is no Western news source in the area as they would in all probability be allow in the area.

The word PeaceKeepers amazes me, as I was under the asumption that the Russian Military went into the two breakaway areas with tanks and guns a blazing! Peacekeepers? Oh yes, if some one you do not like is dead, they will not complain anymore.

Forest, I agree with your points except that in the case of Russia it should be speeled "piecekeepers". They want to keep a piece of everywhere they go.

Here they go again off to church to get married and after the blessings they opt for a divorce!
If they want to rebuild a orange coalation then they better settle their MAJOR DIFFERENCES and start governing the country. A few weeks ago It was in tthe news tyhat Presdent Yuschenk resigned and joined a central party which consists some members of 'soft' POR. I think it is very clear that Russia is meddling in other countries affaires; first by supporting the break away regions of Georgia and then giving millions of passports to Ukrainians / Russians in the Crimea. There should be a part with a good platform or goals for the next four or five years and let the people decide if that will be good for the country or not r choose another party to govern the county.

If the coalition can be renewed by striking down a few laws that probably could be done without, it would be worth it. For those of you not familiar with the concept, it is called compromise. Each side gives a little and they reach a working relationship. This is much better than destroying a government becuse of bullheadedness.
