Answer 1

You are absolutely right . Georgia gambled on getting western allies to support their Hostilities . They did not.. Georgia played a risky game and lost. Russia is taking Full advantage of Georgia taking a mad

Military decision ,which has backfired . It would seem now that Russia

would annexe part of Georgia. Bush will do his war dance and leave his successor in a Military mess.

  

Answer 2

"...was it not georgia who wanted to take the south whatever? russia had the right to fight back..."

You seem to be confusing South Whatever with Russia. Is this correct?

Answer 3

South Ossetia is not a part of Russia but rather a part of Georgia that is trying to break away.  While the Georgians clearly are not completely innocent, the Russian response has been excessive.

Answer 4

People are just ignorant or misinformed.

Georgia DID start this one.
