The BBC has completely changed its tune in the four months since placing the blame for the Ossetia conflict firmly on Russian policy.

I love this unassuming shot of Sarkozy and Medvedev's shadow on the BBC's "day in pictures" feature.

Gordon Brown has finally spoken up loudly and jumped on the anti-Russia bandwagon with chafing hypocrisy.

Today the BBC has included in an article documenting Russia's latest defensive remarks the most seemingly honest summary of the original events that I've seen so far.

Reasonably predictably, Vladimir Putin is suggesting that the United States government played a significant role during the recent conflict in Georgia, a former Soviet state. But I am starting to think that there is a little more to this than the usual slant.

In the wake of recent unrest in Georgia, the United States is calling for Russia to call a cease fire. Speaking in the Georgian capital, Tbilisi, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice "said Russia should help resolve tensions instead of contributing to them."
