Is M. Saakashvili a hero or a terrorist ?

neither. in a better world he'd be a mental patient: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBh9D2WIGsE

specifically, i'll go with war criminal.

He's neither, ordering his armed forces to storm Tskhivali is a war crime. The crime is ethnic cleansing, not genocide, it's pretty clear they were hoping the Ossetians would flee to Russia. (Saakashvili has in fact stated he wanted Ossetia and Abkazia to stay in Georgia but not the Abkazians or Ossetians.) He's mostly a blustering fool, he must have thought the Russians would back down with the USA covering his back. He was wrong about both.

So he's a war criminal, just like dozens of world leaders.

He is a hero to the oil companies-just like Saddam was during the Reagan days.

Republicans are willing to look past a little genocide if it benefits their donors in the oil industry.

well he's got like 100 pages of crimes on him from the goverment but he is making a deal with them to get out of the country but he is a GOD DAMN TERRORIST! he's the reason for over 100 deathes of his own people thats just fuckin stupid to call that little pric a "HERO" so he's nothing but a dirt bag terrorist

Alumnus: uh, he was asking what you think. God...

He is closer to terrorist than hero. The South Ossetians don't wish to be part of his country and he should get over it.

He is a war criminal, just like many other leaders in positions of power throughout the world.

He's definitely not a hero. I'd say terrorist or war criminal.

It really depends on what you think. He can both to two different people.

he is a fool.

terrorist scum
