I've traveled a lot around the world and I've been to both rich and poor countries. However, I got not only staggered but even appalled by the things I saw in Georgia! The main part of Georgian population is farmers, who don’t know what to feed their families on this winter! Not only has the global crisis drained their purses - they would somehow manage to overcome this, but also a record-setting drought has killed all their crops! To top it all their President Mikhail Saakashvili buys highly expensive weapons and tries to steamroll the opposition, which is pretty costly btw! And all that is instead of helping his people to solve economic issues of top priority! And here, in EU, we’re still trying to find a hang-dog in the war of Georgia against South Ossetia. We pay attention to the wrong thing, guys; you know, the Georgians will be starving this winter under such a President!

and what should we do? to donate weapons or food? or with all Europe to involve in this war?

u can do one thing: don't take a notice to such absurd told by provocator ''Nevilla''.
this is complitely bullshi*... since August war their has been lot of money donated, plus lot of aid had been sent to Georgia, so this people has othing to worry about material problems. the majority feels normal, maybe its a hard time for refugees coz they can't work on thier own lands, which means they crops this year, but that's why EU and USA sent so much money! I've been working for ''red-cross'' Georgia and i know perfectly the situation over that place...
Calm down Nevilla and don't try to make such provocative topics in here!!! georgians feel quite normal even we have an economic crisis in EU, becouse they have strong agriculture developmence, and for this autumn i even go to their vintage! this country had a lot of hard times, but starving had never killed a one Georgian!

I know that is not so ... the human mind have some qualities: so called dramatizing and panic.

Hunger persists for years already in a lot of countries and not because of war or politics ... so I think those countries deserve more attention and pity... do you?
