Hi, I'm only 15, but what has been going on with the war in South Ossetia and Georgia has captured my attention more than my life- shopping, hanging out with friends, and just having fun..typical teenage life. I'm an Armenian who grew up in Georgia and so did my parents. Georgia is our home town.

But what they have done is wrong wrong and embarrassing. they They have started this war against South Ossetia and now aren't taking responsibility for all they have caused during the peaceful time of Olympics.They have murdered innocent people and the President of Georgia is kidnapping collage students and children from there homes and sending them to war. My relatives have been in hiding and living underground so thire young male children wont be forced into war.

As for Russian, people got it all wrong.
They are just supporting this little country of south Ossetia who just wants to be independent. So many people have died for no reason. And the rumor that the Russians are bombing Georgia because they want the Ossetian region is untrue. They are trying to help.

As for America, we are wrong to support Georgia because they are trying to force the Ossetian people to give up their freedom. But why! If we Americans have freedom why cant others? What kind of people can we be if we let Georgians take over this small country that WAS trying to build their nation.

I may not understand everything, but it tortures me to know that i am free while these people who have it hard enough already, with barley any food and are having a hard time survive now are deprived from their freedom.

All I'm trying to say is that, the Georgian president started all this, and isn't taking responsibility for his action, blaming Russians when all they are trying to do is help.South Ossetia deserves to be an independent country, just like the U.S.A. It amazes me- because out of all the nations we should be the ones encouraging freedom. Growing up as a young Armenian/American student who is proud to live in the U.S. it breaks my heart to know that we Americans are letting innocent people who are thriving to be free, get murdered by the Georgians.

Right on Little_scholar. I am glad you didn't blind by the US media. I wonder the same thing, it is Georgia who disrupted the peace and decide to launch a sneak attack during Olympics. However, the US media seems to forget this because Georgia is our ally and they are the aggressor, they launch the attack first and cause this mess. I don't know why the media makes it look like it is the Russian who is causing this chaos. If the Gerogia just let it be the way it is, no innocent person will get kill. I am disappointed on how the media handle the whole situtation.

15 huh? Interesting. Why do I doubt that?

Hmm, I won't believe in his 15-yo too But agree with most of his words. Just watched this weird cartoon about Ossetia's war - Big Lie and must admit, that I accept most of its content.
