Children in S. Ossetia Playing with AK-47 toys

Nice. Most of you know I’m no hippy or overprotective idiot that thinks if you let a child play with a toy gun he’s going to grow up and shoot up the local elementary school or something. However, in the wake of this war between South Ossetia (via Russia) and Georgia, I think children wielding lifelike toy replicas of AK-47s is a bit frightening.

On Tuesday Russian President Dmitry Medvedev recognized two Georgian rebel territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states, prompting harsh criticism from Western nations.<br />

I guess they’re just playing; Thanks AP, you really know what calms me down.
