Riten, how it matters to you so positively if Biden comes and counter Putin? Why do you get scared with Putin? Why do you guys follow these sheer right wing US media so blindly to make your opinion? Have you ever tried to see the Georgian conflict from the other-way-round? Who shelled the Ossetians first? After all Ossetia is a breakaway part immediately after Georgia's independence, just like Georgia from Russia. And, more than these all, I hated the Georgian President when he tried to plead the Western countries to help save his country from Russian invasion with having a full knowledge that the Russia would invade Georgia if later invaded Ossetia. I hate such a coward leader, though everybody estimate high about him...because he got the support of whole Western media. He got heard not the Putin during the conflict. He was directly reporting from Georgia like any news reporter reports from the field...Which eventually helped uplift BUSH's ratings and more than that it helped narrow the margin of Mc Cain with Obama. My urge is: GUYS! try to see and interpret things from alternative perspective as well: just don't follow these US media so blindly!
