Things are getting noisy....

My Google alert today sent me articles from both Bloomberg and Businessweek titled "New War Risk on Russian Fringe Amid Armenia-Azeri Clashes."  The articles were similar, but the Bloomberg one had more detail.

The South Caucasus pot is clearly boiling, and it seems to be only a matter of time.  How much time?  I wish I knew.  

According to "Vestnik," Armenia lost 71 soldiers last week. http://vestnikkavkaza.net/news/politics/58400.html  I don't think the US ever lost 71 soldiers in one week during the Iraq War.  

Another website named "Worldbulletin.net" penned a screed titled "Russia 'concerned' over Azerbaijan-Armenia clashes."  The tone was bland.
