'Washington's State Department has called for calm in "reaching a compromise solution acceptable to all and in the interest of Georgia." '

Thats a great way to stall while they find Georgia on the map for Bush and explain to him its history.

CNN had portrayed this as a bloodless revolution -- but will it actually bring about a more equitable democracy??


I guess time will tell -- unless the current government decides to use military brute force to begin the bloodshed.

Never liked the old bastard. What happened is in particular a result of his petty pet-state politics. It is sad though that he was ousted through a coup d'etat. It's even more sad that hardcore nationalists may come to power in this situation.

From time to time. Seeing scenes from Georgia reminded me of Belgrade a few years ago. Not to mention several bloodless revolutions after the fall of the Wall.

And it happends as often as Democracy that was brought by military intervention.
