Russia is bombing civilian targets well away from the conflict zone. They have opened this up and become the aggressor. If you are really just trying to protect your "citizens" in S.O. why would you bomb civlian targets miles and miles away, and bomb the port on the black sea?
Everyone seems to miss the big point here. Georgia controls the one marjor pipeline that Russia can't get to without annexing Georgia back into Russia. They are furious as hell that they have that pipeline and have used this conflict as an excuse to bomb it, although they have been unsuccessful in completely destroying it. Georgia used to be a part of the U.S.S.R. until they went pro-democracy. Russia is waging a war for oil and natural gas control so they can line their filthy pockets. Man where have I heard "war for oil" before.... oh yeah, when people accuse us of doing things in Iraq of Afgan for oil yet when the Russian's do it we are sticking our nose in their business and we're the bad guy. (btw Iraq had a 72bil surplus and we haven't requested any payment for our "services" to liberate them from a despot.)
If Georgia falls, then our street cred goes to shiz and any security agreement we sign with any friendly country can be called into question. It's like a bad dream.
