...Whereas Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton (click title to entry - thank you) stated in Tbilisi on July 5, 2010, that, ‘‘We continue to call for Russia to abide by the August 2008 ceasefire commitment. . . including ending the occupation and withdrawing Russian troops from South Ossetia and Abkhazia to their pre-conflict positions’’;...
The House is voting on measures to increase tensions throughout the world. I remind there were over 1000 innocent civilians killed by the Georgian military while they were helpless to stop it. The killing of civilians by the Georgian military is a human rights violation and urge Russia to take the matter to the United Nations general assembly and the World Courts at The Hague.
While the words in this bill state peaceful resolve is the only way, it completely ignores the acts of the government of Georgia against its own people and is the first step in a really stupid issue to force Russia to move from its protective stance in Georgia. It also does not recognize Abkhazia and South Ossetia as developing independent nations no different than Southern Sudan.
There are 23 bills in the House today that 'sets tone' to international relations based in lies and opposition to other countries serving the people of such regions. The tones are hostile, carry no valid facts of any brevity and reach back a decade or more to make their case. The bills are constructed to aggravate relations internationally and show NO resolution for peace in a way that is realistic.
In this bill in particular I demand all the people dead in Abkhazia and South Ossetia and the way in which they died to be included in this bill. I also demand valid anthropological research into the wishes of the citizens of this region as a part of this bill clearly illustrating their concerns for their lives and their wishes to be autonomous nations.
