I have to also reject the historical revisionism you and Figmo are advancing on the trigger for the Iraq war being a personal vendetta of some sort. Pure unadulterated hogwash. All you'll ever find to support this is the biased musings of a journalist with BDS. (Bush Derangement Syndrome)

Georgia already has its freedom from Russia. Their fights have been about enclaves of various ethnic populations. A trigger that has been starting wars probably since 3000 B.C. or longer.

And its looks like the South Ossetia's wanted their freedom from Georgia and were backed by the Russians against the Georgians. It is more complicated than that but there are many groups in the world which use terrorism to fight for their independence from larger powers.
