for the millionth time: they have no business to do many things, starting from ethnic cleansing
of georgians.

but russian actions do not deny the right of ossetins and abkhazians for self determination and
for freedom from – very real – georgian discrimination and genocidal attempts.

> The issue is complicated, and sovereignty is not merely a matter of ethnic population densities.

again: ossetinian and abkhazian claims for independence are better than kosovars; if we allow later,
we cannot consciously deny former.
