Being carefull with a giant comes only after you recognition and internalising he is a giant. That was failing in the case of Rice and Shaakashvili. The Russian FM was right when he called Georgia a virtual project of the US (i.e. Rice). She had it propably all figured out in the geopolitical computer game on her laptop. Maybe the makers failed to programm the consequences of infuriating and provocating a giant.
