Saakashvili a tragic Hamlet figure

"He's a hussar who knows how to pull the sword, but certainly not
a chess player" was the comment of a high level French diplomat,
quoted by Le Figaro expressing the "disappointment" from Georgian
President Mikhail Saakashvili's behavior in the Caucasus crisis.
Paris estimates Saakashvili "lost it" when he threw his army against
South Ossetia in an "ill-timed, even irresponsible" fashion, writes {Le
Figaro}. The message from Paris goes to those other countries in
proximity of Moscow, such as Ukraine or Moldavia, demanding them
not "to add even more tension" to the current crisis with Russia,
which remains very tense.
