I should probably know that, but South Ossetia hasn’t been on my radar as well as it should have been.

If that is the cause for elevated military activity on the party of the Georgians, then Russia really doesn’t have a leg to stand on here.

These border issues are very tough to referee. Both sides generally have some points that are reasoned.

My gut instinct is to think Russia was the real problem here. I don’t like to get too deep into it, because you have to defend against border claims that go back hundreds if not thousands of years if you do.

I hope the hostilities are over very shortly.

Russia sent 4000 troops to Abkhazia and got them to send missiles now as well. During this conflict, so now they have two border conflicts at once. They are a gentle and kind people, the Georgians. I was hoping to retire there someday as I fell so in love with them on my trip there. They welcomed Bush as family and he was very impressed. They really want to be away from Russia.

The signs there are all in Georgian and English and they planted flowers to form an American flag in the main courtyard in Tbilisi.
They even named a street after President Bush.
