And Georgia ups the ante a level. To be clear, South Ossetia is still officially recognised as part of Georgia, so from the Georgian perspective they are enforcing their territorial rights in trying to reign in the separatists who are backed by the Russians. Also, while it's realistic to say we shouldn't trust the Western media entirely on it's reporting of the conflict, we sure as hell can't trust at all the neutrality of Russian TV.

And this latest act of Georgia declaring a state of war (a notch down from all out declaration of war) is probably due to Russia expanding the conflict further by bombing locations insider Georgia itself rather than just South Ossetia. -> http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7550804.stm
