“Better to make the breakaway regions neutral and demilitarized. Make the citizens choose their loyalty. Those wishing to retain their foreign passports and be Russian should be allowed to go to Russia, where they no-doubt will be welcomed. Those wishing to stay in S. Ossetia and partake of the advantages of modern Georgia should be allowed to choose that course as well.”

but the ones who don’t want to live under georgian regime are vast majority, why should they be ones to live? it’s more fair and more logical that the vast majority of the population stays where they are, and georgian rulers are sent home.

if you deny this, what’s to stop russians from using the same logic to take away over whole georgia?
