It's been coming for years, with all the pro-US sentiment in Georgia against all the resurgent Russian nationalism coming out of Russia... and it finally exploded.
The main question is, who started it, Russia, trying to deal with the Georgian threat -- that is, that Georgia wants to be part of Europe and the West, not part of the Russian orbit -- or by Georgia, trying to retake South Ossetia?

The fact that, as that article says, Russia continues to attack despite Georgia's attempts to give up and let them have South Ossetia and Abkhazia suggests that Russia may be at fault... but they could be simply using the excuse to carry out this plan. We just don't know...
Either way though, Russia's actions are clearly aimed at wrecking Georgia. Bombing Georgia, attacking its military in the country, blockading the coast, bombing the Tblisi airport...
This video interview with Georgian president Mikhail Saakashvili is also interesting.
