President Mikheil Saakashvili of Georgia is right, and so are the many Georgians, Ossetians, Russian and others calling for impartial investigation of the causes of the war over South Ossetia. Ironically, the need for an internationally accepted accounting of the war is clearly illustrated by Mr. Saakashvili's replay of the blame game in "Georgia Acted in Self-Defense" (op-ed, Dec. 2). The struggle to characterize the war as either all about "Russia invades Georgia" or "Georgia attacks South Ossetia" needs to be abandoned in favor of a shared story of what happened.
