http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_effect The halo effect refers to a cognitive bias whereby the perception of a particular trait is influenced by the perception of the former traits in a sequence of interpretations. … People seem not to think of other individuals in mixed terms; instead we seem to see each person as roughly good or roughly bad across all categories of measurement.

However, Russia is exactly what it seems to be, an agressive nation.

Recently, Russia went to the aid of an african nation whose arms shipment it had bought from Russia was hijacked by pirates. On the surface, it looks like no one was in the right on this deal. Yet, more evidence that Russia acts when it’s in Russia’s interests.

Can it be truthfully said that Russia’s intentions were wholely benevolent in their “rescue” of two unruley regions within it’s neighbor, the sovereign nation of Georgia?

I could go on. But I need to not do so. You need to see it for yourself. There is no secret beign glossed over by the western media. The cold hard facts stand still fresh to read firsthand from journalists inside the zones. If you can’t see it, then call it anti-russian propaganda by a mainstream that has won over both candidates.
