Well, uh, the media potrayed him as an 'English-speaking, Western-educated president', so yeah.
Remember the fuss about a Georgian UAV getting shot down by an MiG-29? This is considering that we are talking about a country that could not even hold their own National Day celebrations (at least from what I heard).
As far as I'm concerned, anyone can be saying anything they like about the conflict, but whoever started it is in the wrong, and should be held responsible for misleading the people. Just my 2 cents.
To those making comments and name-calling about the ruling regimes and ideologies of certain countries in the wake of the Olympics: Drop it. This is not going to benefit anyone in the long run if we bicker because of our political differences. I am seeing a lot of political bickering in this country these days, and I hope none of the brand of bickering happens in CA, because personally, its painful to see that happening all the time.
