This is so dual-standard. Russia was responding to Georgia's aggression against citizens of Russia living in South Ossetia. Somebody mentioned Hitler. Well, it has to be put the other way around. It is Georgian President who attempted to take over South Ossetia overnight. Much like Hitler planned his Blitzkrieg against Russia in 1941. Don't you think it is a better analogy than lame references to the Evil Bear Empire? It is Georgian military forces that used MRL (Multiple Rocket Launchers or Guards Mortars) in South Ossetia (http://uk.reuters.com/article/topNew...73791220080807). This type of artillery has no precision, it is intended to kill everything in large areas. And they were using it in South Ossetia (see the above link to Reuters UK).
