No, the vote was to join Russia. Where is the free vote on the status of Northern Ossetia? There is none, because this is the KGB.

Are you being obtuse or do you not know the facts on the ground? They joined Russia and Russia invaded Georgia. This isn't about the Ossetes or Abkhazians it is about KGB control of Georgia.
