To get back to the original article -- can't Saakashvili be seen as playing the part of the proud democratic leader
forced
into authoritarianism while trying to hold his nation together militarily in textbook anti-secessionist Lincolnian fashion?
Or better yet -- can't South Ossetia be seen as Texas in the Mexican-American war being ripped from its mother state by a dangerous form of nationalism called
Manifest Destiny
?
