If Russia would bomb, it would be in Ossetiya or Abkhazia. I doubt they had anything to bomb near Tbilisi.
The conflict with Georgia is a dirty one. Both sides behave like baboons, with Putin trying to force the country to respect Russia, and Saakashvili behaves like a kid throwing stones at lions in the zoo.
The hot regions, South Ossetiya and Abkhazia, will remain as the source of the problem. The people living there want to be a part of Russia, and they seek Russian protection. Georgia says that it is Georgian souvereign territory, and it is unwilling to let it go.
Kremlin has openly considered war scenarios against Georgia, and has developed battle plans. Rumors say that weapons are being delivered to the regional separatists.
Litvinenko, the poisoned Russian ex-spy, was rumored to visit Tbilisi some time ago, to meet some Chechen and anti-Russian people residing there. His visit, however, was disturbed by a violent attack, and he had to leave the city immediately. All information unconfirmed (source: interviews with Litvinenko's closest people such as Akhmed Zakajev by Kommersant).
