I have a question. What people own the United States of America? For example, if I should ask you what people owns the country of France even though there are many different races of people living in France I would expect you to say the French people owns the country of France, right. A question like this could show up on an IQ test. And, what ever answer you give can you prove it? I know the answer and I can prove that my answer is correct1!

Just like the French own France, Americans own the United States of America. Pretty simple.

Steve,
You have put me on notice that you have no intentions of being up-right and honest. I hate to dialogue with a stupid and dishonest person. You like to play games and I don’t like to play games.

Harry, you said:

How is it a game to say that Americans own America?

Steve,
You have put me on notice that you have no interest in being honest in your dialogues. You play games by answering a question with a question. You play diversionary tactics.
When I asked to give me credit for answering your question about the Soviet Union break up with out violence you didn’t, but instead you mocked me playing games.
And, you are still playing games in your answer of who owns the United States of America.
I am not interest in playing games with you Steve.

As one of many conflicts precipitated by the breakup of the Soviet Union, the 1992-93 conflict between Georgia and the region of Abkhazia distinguishes itself as one of the bloodiest, most consequential and most unresolved. It caused tens of thousands of casualties and led to the displacement of about 250,000 people.[1] It is a dispute that persisted without major incident as a ‘frozen conflict’ until 2008, when large-scale Russian military intervention across Georgia re-ignited hostilities and led to Moscow’s unilateral recognition of Abkhazia as an independent state.
The following article posits that the 1992-93 Georgia-Abkhazia War is what can be termed as a ‘forgotten conflict’. Therefore, the paper will attempt to explain the context surrounding the war, explore the dynamics of the politics and the ‘fighting’ of the conflict by looking at the roles of the three main groups involved: Georgians, Abkhazians and Russians, and craft an argument throughout for why the war took place when it did. Although the Georgian-Abkhazian conflict is still unresolved, this paper will focus on the events leading up to, and the ‘initial violent phase’, namely from August 1992 to October 1993.[2]
According to the Red Cross, the conflict claimed between 10,000 and 15,000 lives and left over 8000 wounded.[3] Other sources, emphasizing ethnic cleansing, cite the figure for deaths as between 25,000 and 30,000.[4] Yet other conflicts during this period, such as the wars in the former Yugoslavia, have received much more attention, popularly and academically, than the 1992-93 Georgia-Abkhazia War. Apart from a handful of specialist works, centered around the same group of scholars, analysis of the war available in English is limited to unprofessional and highly biased accounts from one side or the other. In the United States and Western Europe at least, there is little, if any popular knowledge about the war. Therefore, it would seem appropriate to label the 1992-93 Georgia-Abkhazia conflict a ‘forgotten conflict’.
Two major reasons account for the lack of knowledge and absence of mainstream study of the conflict: there was little coverage of events during the conflict, and there has been little exploration of the conflict since. In contrast, the comparatively brief developments of the August 2008 re-ignition of the war were broadcast as rolling news on the BBC, CNN and other international outlets, while the significance of Russia’s intervention led to a global debate on the limits of Western integration in the Black Sea and Caspian regions. Even then, academic and popular historians largely neglected the initial conflict for a number of reasons. It is seen by many as yet another confusing ethnic conflict in a confusing part of the world. As the noted historian of Georgia Ronald Suny observed, ‘From afar the ethnic and civil warfare in Georgia often looks to casual observers like the latest eruption of “ancient tribal conflicts” or irradicable primordial hatreds’.[5] Others view the 1992-93 war as an internal Georgian issue that never became heinous enough to warrant international concern or as an issue to be discussed only in the context of the ‘Russian orbit’.
Part of the reason for this neglect comes from the conflict occurring at the same time as tumultuous events in Moscow and other parts of the just-broken-up Soviet Union. However, for those involved, the 1992-93 war is far from forgotten, not least because a resolution has not yet been found. A 1999 Red Cross study found that 90 percent of Abkhazians and 42 percent of Georgians say they experienced ‘negative effects’ of the conflict, including the killing or rape of relatives, the looting or destruction of homes, or being taken prisoner.[6] Therefore, the 1992-93 Georgia-Abkhazia War can more accurately be described as a ‘forgotten conflict’ for those in the U.S., or more broadly, the ‘West’, but certainly not for those in the region.

Steve,
You can post what ever you like on my blogs because I don’t delete any one and I don’t horse play as you do using underhanded tactics.
God is behind Black America’s change of life to be a sovereign and free people in a country of our own and you are thinking conventionally.
God never hint to me of any weapons. I am very much turn off by you after you have admitting that you are not interest in being an honest and up-right participant in dialoguing with me.
You should be grateful I am dealing with you because you are not who I came for. I came for Black Americans.
Until you are willing to answer correctly about what people owns the United States of America I don’t want to have any dialogue with you

And before you do, define ownership. Do you mean real estate ownership, political ownership, cultural ownership, what?

Steve,
You have to come up with the right answer all by your self if you want my attention again because I think you know the answer, but you are using one of your unhanded tactics again.
