Some thoughts again.

I was again writing to my friend some thoughts.
I assume everybody agree that war is about politics – it is a creation politicians. Therefore somebody who tries to understand how it happened the war in Georgia they he/she needs to understand what kind of alternatives could have both sides of the conflict – Russians and Georgians (BTW: no matter who were leaders of both sides). We can talk much about on if we don’t like or like the current leaders of both countries but I assume they had very few alternatives in their hands.
1. NATO summit in April – it stated that MAP could be given to Georgia in December of 2008 if it continues working on some problems. Unofficially Georgia was told that it needed to deal first of all with the conflicts and then it could be easier. Georgian delegation at the Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe tried to ask Chancellor of Germany about this – what could it mean but she denied to answer (nobody knows why – maybe she was correct but this was not understood like this by Georgian side.)
2. Politicians have certain function and role but mainly to do something for people and also KEEP the place in politics. This means when you’re close to such a moment of life of your country like Georgia was after NATO summit you need to do something or leave politics. The similar situation (maybe slightly less difficult) could be happening with the other side of the conflict of course - Russia.
3. If summarize the above mentioned any expert of politics could expect something could happen – no matter who would start this. I assume, I am not as good to know political theory so well but think many governments had good experts to understand this situation easier.
4. All arguments like it was not their task or business to be involved in this crisis I count as unacceptable because a. now many of them are involved after the blood; b. any attempts to hide behind of the humanism and I hate politics never brings peace unfortunately. This world is very much dependent on politics and Georgian people cannot start experimenting on itself of libertarian paradise –if we eliminate our state nobody will follow, unfortunately.
So now I would assume those who observed this situation, understood but did not do everything to prevent they are not less responsible in this war than Georgian or Russian leadership and putting whole burden on them is a shame.
