The Russian Bear is on the move again. Quiescent for a decade or two, he is stirring again, and has wandered across yet another border. Shades of troops on Polish streets, grind of tanks in Czechoslovakia. Nations watch, talk much, act little. It is painful to see the leader of Georgia trying, in a press conference with CNN at 3 AM, to invoke a sense of justice, from an unjust and uninterested world. With the troops in uniform, it is reported that Irregulars are infiltrating into towns and villages, bent on terrorizing and demeaning. If this is true, this is a fatal turn to events. When tanks roll in to the town square, all semblance of life is gone. Children don't go to school, the grocer has no produce, the baker does not bake bread, apothecaries shut shop, rail lines cease, cars only seem to carry loads of people to across border, electrics don't work, piped water trickles and then ceases. When low flying aircraft go screaming over streets teeming with houses in which people are huddled, something essential has become lost. If this is unchanged, and the world watches and does nothing, soon one, then two, and then a dozen corpses line the streets. When these decay, dogs become scavengers, rats scurry by night, carrying away pieces of what was once someone's father, brother. The faces of the invaders, the flag under which they fight, the country they battle for, seem to change. The essential barbarism remains the same. -- Arya-Holmes Acufree.Com Inc http://www.acu-free.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The idea that money doesn't buy you happiness is a lie put about by the rich, to stop the poor from killing them". - Michael Caine ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To join/leave, use the form at: http://www.mumbai-central.com/nukkad/#options This list is archived at: http://www.mumbai-central.com/nukkad/archive.html
