TBILISI, Georgia (AP) - A year after their war, Russia and Georgia are locked in a battle of words and images over how the world will remember the conflict. Each seeks to be exonerated, each wants its adversary condemned - and both say the other side is spoiling for a new fight.

The fog of post-war is nearly as thick as when the fighting was raging. There's even disagreement on what day marks the beginning of the five-day conflict.

For both Russia and Georgia, the stakes are higher than just boosting patriotism among their people. The war shook the world's trust in each country, and both Moscow and Tbilisi are eager to stitch those wounds.
