Hollow Victory

Is that such a popular issue in Georgia that the population would rather have someone claiming they would go to war?
You have to remember that there are something like 150,000 Georgians who were expelled or forcibly expelled or voluntarily fled out during the war in 1990 to 1993. Most of these people are still living in absolutely abysmal conditions and want to be able to go home. There are children who have grown up and have never actually seen their parental home.

This is sort of like the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.
Yes, although they are not politicized to that extent. But yes, with every year that passes, the danger increases that these displaced persons could be mobilized as a political force.
