Amongst celebrations of the 2008 Olympics there are two countries which are having their share of difficulties. Yesterday the country of Georgia was brought under attack by Russia. 1500 people are now dead because of what is being called a "humanitarian catastrophe" by the Preside of Russia Dmitry Medvedev. The fighting has certainly threatened a wide war between Russia and Georgia and could cause a strain between Moscow and Washington D.C. According to reports Russia says that it needs to protect its peacekeepers and civilians in the region. A potential cease fire is in negotiations at the United Nations as they call yet another emergency meeting of the Security Council.
