Who started the war?

Interesting article here about the Georgia/Russia war. It suggests Georgia started the war, despite Georgia's vehement protestations. International observers (in Tskhinvali?)including a Finn, a Belorussian and a Pole, describe the firing on Tskhinvali as indiscriminate, with at least 48 rockets falling in civilian areas (this is blamed on the inexperience of the Georgian military).

The Georgians, naturally, dismiss this report. 'Who counted these rockets anyway?', they ask. Would have thought it ain't that difficult to count a rocket that landed, would you?
