that girls tertimony might be as unfettered with ideology as we can hope to get. She sounded coached and pretty ideological to me. I am paraphrasing but "I blame Georgia for the conflict" coming from a 12 year old is as ideological as it gets. All she cared about was what was happening to her and her mother. Which was pretty much nothing. She did not know who started the conflict, she did not see any bombs falling, no one she knew was killed or wounded, her uncle did not have any problem driving to pick them up, driving them home and driving them to Russia next day. All that was happening under allegedly genocidal Georgian bombing. Yeah, right.
