Would Russia's attack on Georgia be approved of by the world if they called the freedom fighters "insurgents"?

Question

It worked for the Americans in Iraq.

Answer 1

In italy ( i live in italy) a lot of people hate Bush and his government....we don't approve russia's attack, but the behaviour of Bush has been very criticised and the piece of notice of some american submarine  (with french submarine) in the Mediterraneo (to control Iran) doesn't help.

A question in yahoo! Answers Italy says:

"Bush wants to cause a global war!!!".

A lot of Italian approve Russia and the reason isn't "Italy is commuist" but "Bush is crazy".

Bye!

Answer 2

No.  Russia is attacking a sovereign country.  They are a country of people who have chosen to live in a border defined by their beliefs and religion.  What Russia has done is criminal by the standards set by world not just a select few.  If Russia were creating peace or helping the people in one way or another then there could be justification.  There is no help by burning peoples homes... looting their property... and killing civilians.
