You paint a vivid picture of an absolute political mess, one that the wisdom of Solomon cannot sort out. So, I guess my vote would be to stay out and not try to have WWIII in a place that is only slightly less strategically isolated than outer Mongolia.

Right. Did you know South and North Ossetia had uranium smuggling, caught by a Georgian sting, not too long ago?

Unfortunately the world does matter and we have to address it.

The arrest of a Russian citizen attempting to smuggle highly enriched uranium into Georgia has fueled concerns about the border security of the country’s breakaway region of South Ossetia, where Georgian undercover agents made contact with the smuggler.

"On February 2, the US and Georgia signed an agreement to fight nuclear smuggling by providing assistance for border surveillance, enhancing ties with the international community on nuclear forensics and reinforcing the work of the Georgian Nuclear Regulation Agency. The first American delegation to come to Georgia to explore ways of improving the country’s defenses against nuclear smuggling arrived in mid-September 2006."
