The president of Georgia suffers accute paranoïa. This man hangs around too many times with John McCain, a half-senile senator from Arizona. The European Union should stay quiet a little and remain in its corner. I thought the European Union was under the influence of George Bush-Dick Cheney but it is behaving the same with Obama. Be aware Medvedev. I understand that Russia is looking for business but beware of European Union. With United States, it is getting ready to invade and destroy Russia to slow down its economic growth. United States is in "war" mode. It seems it wants to invade anything that moves and anything that is contrary to its belief. Your friends in South American will be in trouble soon only because they're doing business with Russia. Georgia should not be part of NATO, period.

Will this annual "Day of Moaning" be accompanied by zuzuvelas blaring from loudspeakers??? Theatrics has replaced reality in Saakashvili's Georgia. I seriously doubt that Georgia will ever be accepted into NATO or the EU because the Georgians have a long history of burying their heads in wine vats and substituting fantasy for reality.

If Russia were much more honest and much less devious about its Soviet era deeds in regard to its neighbours and showed more genuine goodwill and less truculence towards them, neighbouring countries would not feel so apprehensive and would have less need to reinforce their own identity in the face of Russian pressure. However, this implies that Russia is willing to actually change, and that's the problem.

I think, the irony of this latest Georgia's move is that Georgians look little bit foolish. Because, unlike, some other Russia's Western neighbors (primarily, Baltics, Poland, Western Ukraine) who, at least, more or less consistent in their relationships with Russia (actually, for centuries), Georgia doesn't have that "anti-Russian or anti-Soviet" basis for their actions. Georgians played big role in the formation of the Soviet Union and the history of its entire existence (including Shevardnadze being one of the key political figure of the late Soviet time, and even potential Soviet President). Georgia, from the very beginning, was one of the political cornerstones of the USSR. So, when Georgians say, that they are going to mark the "Day of Soviet Occupation", for me it sounds more like they are going to mourn the occupation of Georgia by ... Georgians themselves. And it is not like I have problems with Georgians and their role in the Soviet (or Russian, for that matter) history. I just think, that Georgians should think little bit before they act. To avoid such comical situations as this one.
