I’m also encouraged to read that the Georgians have attempted to restore order in Gori when the Russians were supposed to have withdrawn. I was wondering why they allowed the vacuum to persist and was worried that they might be disintegrating.

The Russians destroying Georgian bases, equipment and munitions are giving the Georgians a short term obstacle but a long term benefit – this will help accelerate their transition to NATO standards.
