Been there. AKM shooting was present whenever u crossed Abkhasia mountain border ever since 1987. I feel Russia may had to interfere to prevent genocide in South Osetia, BWDIK. Now all this Nato crap and oil is getting dragged in by the ' West. It's not about zad. Georgians are overall very nice but "hot" folks. So are Osetians and Abhazians, and they really don't like each other. Ethnic conflicts have been present forever, and intensified after the Soviet Union collapsed. The truth is, the people of these "separatist" regions could be completely annihilated. Not sure it's fair. Here is to peacekeeping mission! Russia did not go there, Georgia did. The West paints it all as big bad Russia going after a sovereing country because of NATO or oil or whatever. Big bad Putin. Shrub - wrong in Iraq, wrong in Iran, wrong AGAIN! What a Moron. IMHO. Russia is telling the truth about protecting its citizen and to prevent another GENOCIDE in the region. Again, long history. FWIW, Joseph Stalin's nationality was Georgian, his real name was Iosef Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili

Been to Zugdidi and Sukhumi. This IS a peace keeping mission for Russia, IMHO. Russians don't not care what Shrub thinks, cause they know his IQ -g- I don't have a clue now, but it just may be that Russia HAD to do it, or let ALL these people in SO die, so the history of the region goes... Some died in the conflict, at least not all of them. That's why they wanted Russian protection. You just can't mix SO/Abkhasians with the Georgians. Like mixing H2 and O2 and lighting a match.
