I've Been Thinking:

South Ossetia, Georgia and Russia. What a hornet's nest.

The United States is preparing a resolution for the United Nations Security Council that will condemn Russia for its involvement in this conflict.
The Russians say that anti-Russian bias has crippled the ability of the world to see what is really happening.

Let me make it really simple:
On November 12, 2006 South Ossetia declared its independence from Georgia. There are about 70,000 people in South Ossetia.
The Declaration of Independence was not recognized.
South Ossetia continued to be a hot spot under Georgian control.
Russia was supposed to keep the peace but instead chose to support the Ossetian separatists.

Then the situation began to escalate:
On August 8th the Russian Air Force bombed Georgia - the Georgian Army invaded South Ossetia.
Now the world is shouting Russia get out and in response Russia is saying if you side with the Georgians your diplomatic relations with us will suffer.

Finally, Russia gives a damn about something other than money - but at what price?
