You are quasi right. In our lifetime and those of several generations of grandparents, Abkhazians have never felt part of Georgia. Stalin and Beria, however, made damned sure they stopped whining (Beria poisoned those who resisted):

Caveat: Wikipedia is often worked over by left-wingers

Note that terrorist bombs have been going off in Abkhazia this year. One wonders who set those terror bombs off that kill civilians there.

A couple (man and woman) were killed on the beach there this weekend when they stepped on a mine laid by someone evil.

Who would want to scare the Russian people into not visiting Abkhazia for their vacations?

So 2×4: Do you really want to possibly start a nuclear war with Russia by insisting that Abkhazia be MILITARILY won back by Georgia with US Special Forces help?

Ain’t going to happen.

This is Kosovo all over brother.

Sarkozy just offered to send peacekeepers there.
