Russia and Georgia

For some interesting reading on the two points of view:

"The War in Georgia is a War for the West" (by Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili)


"Why Russia's response to Georgia was right" (by Russian foreign affairs minister Sergei Lavrov)

After reading the background on Wikipedia as well I am worried about two things:

a) John McCain's immediate support for Georgia. His top foreign policy advisor is a former lobbyist for Georgia. Also, he is friends with the Georgian president. How is this man impartial in the conflict?

b) The media's heavy anti-Russian bias in the west, particularly in the United States.

It's very difficult to get an unbiased account of what's going on, but I'll keep searching...
