And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The nation of Georgia - less known than it should be.
I know a lot about Georgia, and more particularly the politics of North and South Ossetia, which dictate a lot of what's gone on there. You can always e-mail me if you want me to elaborate.
Stalin was a Georgian. That should tell you a lot.
Most Americans forget (if they ever knew in the first place) that it was the Russians who broke the back of the Third Reich. Yes, I know about lend lease, etc., and we did help them --- but the Russians lost 65 million in the Great Patriotic War. They deserve to be remembered because every German they killed wasn't there to face us on D-Day.

Josif Dzhugashvili - a real winner for the poor all suffering Russians.

DeleteThe bulk of the Wehrmacht was fighting the Russkis. Ask a Russian who won WWII in Europe.
