I'm sorry but S. Ossetia and Abkhazia are in georgia as boundries were
drawn 
after the fall of the soviet union. Ossetians and Abkhazians are free to 
leave if they don't like the georgian rule. If they would rather live
under 
russian rule they can go there. I'm sure the russians will welcome them
and 
help them to get a new start. I'd bet. Georgia would even compensate them 
for their properties if they leave peacefully.

However there is another option Ossetians and Abkhazians can disarm and 
remain as a resident of Georgia under Georgian rule and protection if any 
remaining. Personally i'd disarm and retain the land it cannot be that
bad. 
the rest of georgia seem to be liking the freedoms granted them.

If the Ossetians and Abkhazians intentions are truly peaceful than there 
should be no problem with laying down arms and accept Georgian rule.

Either way Russia has only one course of action to save face among 2/3 of 
the world. carry  their citizens and military equipment/personel back
across 
their borders. May I suggest crow for dinner?

Phil what you present is rewarding the squaters and russia for mis
behavior 
at the cost of georgia. IMHO
