Putin is such a likable guy, it's too bad he's a mini-tyrant.
Did you think Medvedev ever was in control to make those decisions? He may be more demacratic, but his opinion is irrelevant. The man was hand picked Putin to be his puppet.

And laugh if you must, but I don't see Russia leaving Georgia after multiple promises to do so, and all they've done is continually lie to the world in a very bold faced fashion. If Russia attempts to oust the Georgian government, I can see this getting VERY ugly as NATO and Western Europe won't be able to ignore this situation. Maybe a third world war isn't likely, but this is as close as we've been on a LONG time.
