Declaring "the aggressor has been punished," the Kremlin ordered a halt Tuesday to Russia's devastating assault on Georgia.
WTF...didn't Russia start this shit?
They probably both started it. Besides it's not like it has to be true for them to say it.

And S Ossetia... and that .. other region...
Two things come to mind. First Georgia will probably not be joining NATO anytime soon, and second Russia will have a nice foothold south of the Greater Caucasus mountains (which will be handy if they ever need to cut certain oil and gas pipelines going to Europe, for example).
