That sounds like the beginning of a pretext for invasion at some point in the future... I would say...
If the Georgian government is backing terrorist attacks on civilians I say screw em. But I don’t think it was government backed or supported.
Muslim Chechens were responsible for the attack. Georgians are mostly Christian.
Wow, what a transparent set up. Didn’t know the Georgians had suicide bombers.
Putin is actually using the South Ossetian Muslims AGAINST Georgia. This is a load of nonsense. But he may see a chance to take another slice out of Georgia while Obama stands by and does nothing. And Hillary pushes her reset button.
Carter or Gingrich?
We know that the FSB (formerly KGB) sets off bombs in Russia to blow up their own citizens:

This particular episode looks like the Chechens did it.
Georgia has a very very small military
The Chechnyians have already claimed credit. Maybe the Russians are afraid to go into the mountains after the Muslims who are gloating over their new killling fields.(no schoolhouse kids this time)
"Russian officials including Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said in late 2008 that they hoped the scale and determination of the Russian intervention in neighboring Georgia would convince Russia's own insurgents across the border in the North Caucasus of the futility of continuing to fight." - wsj.com
Putin was wrong. Russia's coddling of the muslims and attacking Christians instead has only emboldened Russia's home-grown islamic insurgency. Russia's support for ethnic separatists in Georgia has destabilized the entire Caucasus region and furthered the interests of separatists throughout Russia itself.
