Tell me what's the difference between Chechnya and South Ossetia ? For me it's very similar situation.
It seems that it was good for Russian government when Russians wanted to stop rebellion in Chechnya, but it's bad when Georgia wants to stop rebellion in South Ossetia.

Here is a few differences. To begin, no one try to exterminate or Russianize Chechns, which is exactly what Georgians try with all minorities (and loose on all fronts). Further during defact independence, S.Ossessians (many of whom are Christian) never go to Tbilisi and blow up apartments, while invading neighbors to create greater Orthodox Republic of northern Caucus...which, if I must remind you, is exactly what Chechins do. First they invade into Daghistan and exterminate several villages (after they exterminate many minorities and Christians in Chechnya...much of which never even Chechin)...then when Moscow strike back, they blow up apartments, blow up concerts, parades, barracks, buses, trains, etc...oh almost the same, except for all the facts.
