Default right to self-determination versus sovereignty

where is the line? the US supported the secession and quick recognition of Kosovo, and Russia has cited this as precedent for their defense of South Ossetia against Georgian intervention. Where is the line drawn? Did Russia legitimately defend a sovereign nation against the recapture by its former state or did they invade the territory of Georgia which was dealing with an internal dispute?
