The purpose of this group is to have people join and share their thoughts, views, etc in regards to this conflict. I have no idea what events transpired to cause this conflict, the background behind the conflict, or what the United States (or any other country) can do to stop it. All I hear is the major network media quoting the governments of Russia and Georgia. Hopefully this catches on because I have no idea.
