Russia responded because for all intensive purposes Geogia has not governed these two regions in almost 20 years and the people there identify more with Moscow than they do Georgia. Georgia could have gone about this differently and should have done it by peaceful means. I'd choose our relationship with Russia as more important than Georgia in my book. Russia needs to pull back to their territory now and let international peacekeepers in...but I personally feel no illwill towards them and I think a LOT of americans agree.
