I'm Russian. Usual civilian. I've got 3 children and I'm very
worried about Bush's Admin'n policy. To my mind he's creating attack ring around Russia, supporting Georgian genocide. Russians has never opened fire first. You've just to see Osetian children shot dead as execution by G. firing squad.

Pity the French didn't put a similar resolution in the UN security council when there were previous wars eg Serbia, Iraq, Afghnistan, Lebanon etc. Their double standards never stop to amaze me

The truth is that USA and EU official with their double standard made a total chaos in the world.

When Russia obliterated Chechnya, killing tens of thousands, torturing and looting in an orgy of violence, it was all part of an anti-terrorist operation. Very few, if any Russian servicemen were ever prosecuted. Suddenly, Russia decides that Georgia's actions are 'genocide' - sheer hypocrisy.

Malcolm Hawkes, London,

When bombing the civilians in Serbia the US didn't take care of any ethic and morale and international law. When invading into Iraq apparent lie flooded from the US President's mouth. Does anybody believe that this President changed? How can he make advises to the Russians?

George, London,

So, a Russian Peace Keeping Force. That will be like Hitlers Peace Keeping Force?

James, Yeovil, UK

If I were the Russian president, I would not accept the agreement.
It leaves open the possibility for future aggression by Georgia against South Ossetia. S. O. never was Georgia proper, it was forced by Stalin (a born Georgian) into Georgia.

What does Obama say? The US is powerless until after the election. So let the Russians know now what their position wil be in 2009 and perhaps they will start to negotiate.

Meyer Culper, Kingston, UK

Add this to the resolution, and Russia might accept it:
- self determination for S. Ossetia and Abkhazia; referendums within a year under the UN auspices
- strong condemnation of the indiscriminate use of firepower against civilians; war crimes against civilians to be prosecuted in the Hague
fair?

Observer, Seattle, USA

The rest of the world needs an opportunity to see for itself if Georgia is such a guilty criminal or a foolish participant in the events that have unfolded. Why isn't Russia satisfied with peace for now? Do they want more Georgian land? However, Iraq didn't set a good precedent. Way to go, GWB.

Evan, Columbia, USA

Shows of Russian military and economic strength are not surprising when NATO expands and the U.S. establishes a missile shield along regions perceived by the Russian gov't as important to its own security. When will the Bush administration accept that tact is a necessarily element in diplomacy.

trade with the deemed agressor shall cease worldwide. Any one 18 years old an under in the hostilities regions shall be removed to numerous unaffected countries.The governments of all warring factions should be deemed illigitimate unless they are to participate in ceasefire and negotiation.

allan, victoria,

If the Russians claims are true and Georgia did in fact indiscriminately bomb South Ossetia and killed hundreds of civilians, the West will loose all moral high ground for supporting Georgia. Russian investigators are collecting evidence of "genocide" as you read this.
