Pretty easy to get from either of those regions into georgia, and then from georgia through the mountains into Russia not far from Sochi.

I'll presume then to count you out of attendance for the games in Bejing then?
I don't think you can let terrorists dictate where the olympics will be, besides I'm not sure which cities are bigger targets than others. I'd say Vancouver is a much bigger target than georgia. Not too many russian troops fighting the taliban in the middle east right now.
