What is your opinion about the new war in South Ossetia?
DownwithIslam:
I am pretty sure that Russia can wipe out the Georgians really quickly. That is unfortunate though because Russia who is stuffing Iran with weapons needs a big blow.
IslamIsCancer:
Let's hope they end this madness and start negotiating instead.
Ulli:
After I read the article Mord has posted. It looks like Saakashvili got mad.
Imo he wants to rope in the USA and the NATO in his conflict with South Ossetia and Russia.
But after the evil things they did with Serbia Russia will not withdraw. :(

from wikipedia
Today the majority of Ossetians, from both North and South Ossetia, follow Eastern Orthodoxy. As the time went by, Digor in the west came under Kabard and Islamic influence. It was through the Kabardians (an East Circassian tribe) that Islam was introduced into the region in the 17th century. Today, a minority profess Sunni Islam). Tuallag in the southernmost region became part of what is now Georgia, and Iron, the northernmost group, came under Russian rule after 1767, which strengthened Orthodox Christianity considerably. Most of the Ossetes today are Eastern Orthodox Christians.
