And what about Kosovo?

It is no news that politicians and the population in general subject to the propaganda of mass-media have short memory, but the following few quotes from an article on bloomberg is just ridiculous:

«U.S., Europe Condemn Russian Recognition of Georgia Breakaways»
And what happened when Russia, Spain, Serbia and the rest majority condemned the recognition of Kosovo by US?

«...President George W. Bush urged Russia to ``reconsider this irresponsible decision,'' which he said was ``inconsistent'' with United Nations Security Council resolutions on Georgia's borders that Russia had supported...»
Wasn't the recognition of Kosovo "inconsistent" with United Nation Security Council just a few month ago, but the interested parties decided to step over this minor detail?

«...In international relations, you cannot have one rule for some and another rule for others...»
And that has been said over and over again, but no one seemed to listen, not even now.

So maybe someone could answer to a straight and simple question:
What is so different between Kosovo and South Ossetia?
