As you may know, there has been a small conflict over the territory of south Ossetia and Russia trying to seize it from Georgia. The Russians had taken south Ossetia and had pushed through the overwhelmed Georgian forces before the U.S intervened. Georgia’s breakaway regions – Abkhazia and South Ossetia – would never agree to being part of Georgia again, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said. Earlier, Russia said it had begun handing back the town of Gori to Georgian police but insisted its troops would stay in the area. A correspondent from the BBC said there were also reports of Russian military vehicles moving around the town of Senaki and the Georgian Black Sea port of Poti in western Georgia. Moscow had earlier denied the reports but Russia’s deputy chief of staff, Gen Anatoly Nogovitsyn, told a televised news conference it was legitimate for Russians to be in Poti as part of intelligence-gathering operations. Georgia’s Prime Minister Lado Gurgenidze said a convoy of more than 100 Russian tanks and other vehicles was moving from the major western town of Zugdidi deeper into Georgia, but officials were later quoted as saying the column had turned back.
I think it is good that this conflict was short but i think that the U.S could have acted quicker to prevent more deaths.

Is the conflict actually over now? From reports that I have read and seen on the news it seems to be continuing.
