georgian president Saakashvili is an enlightened despot, who is guilty of human and civil rights abuses, as well as a mini-genocide. Even if he were to admit guilt, he probably would not regret what he did. He should be put on trial at the Hague tribunal. The ultimate judgement will be when he stands before GOD!!!
