We received severalcomments on Brian’s reference to Ossetians as “ethnically Russian.” Lincoln Mitchell, assistant professor in the school of international and public affairs at Columbia University, helps clear up the confusion.

Brian: There is an egregious,false revision which most American media have repeated in this crisis.Namely that this crisis started when "Russia invaded Georgia". In fact, It was Georgia which invaded South Ossettia, which considerts itself an autonomous region that wants to be politically unite with Russian. Geogia is he aggressor!
