I get the impression actually, that this is a complex case.
From what I understand of it so far - there were already peace-keepers in place, in a region that didn't want to be part of Georgia (majority wise). Then the Georgians went in with troops, after which the Russians hit them hard. Probably too hard... But I think they wanted to make a point.
And on the NATO front... this talk of letting Russian neighbors into NATO seems dangerous. Some locations are simply not defensible.
