small as in small size? have you seen a map of afghanistan lately?
not that i disagree with most of what you said though... maybe it wasnt well known, but definately not small by any means.
this is getting messy in georgia but i dont see much response from the rest of the world. its like russia vs chechnya all over again. big burly brother showing its military might against a much weaker younger brother. that sounds about right....
the rest of the world will continue to ignore georgia like it did with chechnya. im not so sure about what interests russia has in ossetia, but there must be something. i know that they needed the oil pipes to run through chechnya, so they wouldnt allow it its independance. no ones really spoken about this yet. i doubts its just about russia standing up for south ossetia. theres gotta be something in it for russia.
