Has Russia just set itself up to lose territory by justifying their invasion of Georgia in terms of South Ossetian self-determination? Because now, Gordon Chang reports, the South Ossetians are mumbling about reunifying with North Ossetia. Which is part of Russia. My advice to South Ossetian honcho Eduard Kokoyty if he keeps this up: get a food taster.
