And now Russia just dois it job: protecting its people in South Ossetia and its peace keepers which is also 100% LEGAL. So why Russian should scream "illegal war"? Sorry, but I can't get your point.

Following your point there certainly should be lots of demonstrations in California like: "take a way this fuckin' sum from our sky!" and "no palms in out city!"

Sounds stupid? Yeah, now you may understand how stupid sounds your post above to Russians.

Believe me if Russians have the problem THEY REALLY care, they don't bother to go on demonstrations. E.g. the case when Russian government has forbidden all left-sided cars. This "law" was been re-called very soon because of mass demonstrations of Russian car-owners. There are lots of other cases like that. Russians are always ready to protest but ONLY IF THEY CARE about something, or if they CONSIDER SOMETHING WRONG. A war in Georgia is not such a case - believe me. if you ask the ppl on the streets, 90 of 100 will say they support it, but if you ask do they really care, I guess only few will say "YES".

Guys, I'm in Russian now but not you. Believe me - I know the situation here much better than you.
