As for Abkhazia, yes I agree that it's time to set a time line for Russian troops to leave the region and reintegrate Abkhazia into Georgia.

That's mighty white of you. Have you ever been to Abkhazia? I have, granted it was only for 3 days. The people overwhelming (read this carefully) DO NOT WANT TO BE PART OF GEORGIA, but you can then just drop the mask of democracy and be a nice, PC autocrat by forcing them to live under the rule of those who 12 years ago tried to exterminate them. Gee, makes about as much sense as giving Israel (without bothering to care what the Israelis think) back to the Arabs or Bangladesh to Pakistan or East Timor to Indonesia or Taiwan to China....so of course you must support the return of Taiwan to China right? Never mind, also, that voluntarily, 90%+ of the population took up Russian citizenship in 2002, giving up on the dream of independence because they knew they'd never have peace with Georgia. But hay, why bother with the details if surrendering these people will make the anti-Russians or the EU crowd happy, right? Makes one look like a "moderate" or "liberal", kinda like a Yablaka member, you know one of the parties that ruled Russia for 8 years and profited from the biggest rape of resources in known history.

Right, now that they've ethnically cleansed the Georgian majority from Abkhazia with Basayev's help, and the help of his Russian dhimmis.

Abkhazia was a part of Georgia populated mainly by Georgians till 1993 (48% Georgians and 17% Abkhazians). I know that the facts means nothing to you and that you probably support ethnic cleanising in Kosovo too, but numbers dont lie.
