| The speaker of Russia's upper house of parliament, a close Kremlin ally, said Wednesday that lawmakers were ready to recognize the independence of separatist regions in Georgia, Interfax reported. "The Federation Council is ready to recognize the independent status of South Ossetia and Abkhazia if that is what the people of these republics want and also if there is a corresponding decision by the Russian president," Sergei Mironov was quoted as saying. |

| #4 I wouldn't care a bit if whites would become a minority--it would probably be a result of mixed marriages and everybody would get a better tan and more variety would introduced to the gene pool. And am as "white" as they get, my tan is called a sunburn. What would be disastrous is if Americans would become a minority. |

| #1 It will be a fun to watch their own ethnic republics wanting to separate in the near future. Ever looked on the RF ethnic map? Swiss cheese would be a smooth solid object in comparison. |
