Over the weekend,
President Saakashvili opened a new youth patriot camp in Tbilisi-controlled
upper Kodori Gorge. Taking back control of the area was achieved,
he said, by building roads and discotheques. "Youth energy,"
he added, "can confront any kind of violence." Do you
think building youth camps and discos in a conflict zone is a
good strategy for conflict settlement? Is it right to use Georgian
teenagers to "confront" violence in Abkhazia? (view
