Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was greeted by raucous crowds cheering and chanting "Thank you!" when he visited South Ossetia in a trip showing off Russia's ties to the breakaway Georgian region.
I have to wonder whether Medvedev is on a personal trip to talk to local field commanders of the Russian army and settle whether they're ready for another round with Georgia.
My guess is that the Russians won't make the same mistake twice.
