In the Wake of Kosovo

[CDarwin]

Separatist tensions are flaring in Georgia now.

Abkhazs in Abkhazia and ethnic Russians in South Ossetia are growing restless and seem eager (with no Russian objections) to call on the case of Kosovo as precedent for their cause. Do they have a point here? Is there a difference between the two situations or is this a bit of Western hypocrisy? Or is it instead Russian hypocrisy? So many questions.

(Not to belittle your topic-start, CDarwin, I just can't think of anything else to say at the moment.)
