"Georgia on my mind" means something else in Russian

So, most of the world's attention is on the Olympic festivities., while it is a near all-out war between Russia and Georgia. What else we need to pay attention to?
  • Continuing tensions in Afghanistan and Iraq, of course.
  • Musharraf's impeachment
  • The implication of Olmert's departure for Israeli government, and for the Palestinian peace process
  • Mugabe's atrocities in Zimbabwe
  • Sudan, and Darfur in particular
  • Any development in Iran
We in the US might be tempted to ignore any of these, but we better not.
