I am trying to be pro-common sense here. Historically neither S. Ossetia nor Abhazia were ever a part of Georgia. Not until in the early 1930-ies Stalin (an ethnic Georgian) redrew the border and added these provinces to Georgia. It is a centuries old dispute and we have no business of getting into it.

Before you start arguing and cry “bomb, bomb, bomb”, get your facts straight.

Yeah, Saddam said the same sort of thing about Kuwait.

Cry me a river.
