Cautions on Kyrgyzstan

Chrenkoff writes in his blog to be cautiously optimistic about the changes in Kyrgystan, "Overthrowing a government is easy - it merely requires a relatively short burst of manic energy. The much harder part is building on the victory and ensuring that all that effort by the "people power" doesn't go to waste - it's a tough and gruelling and unenviable job." Read the rest of his analysis, he has some great insights and reminds us the European Union will be worthless in providing support to the Tulip Revolution's leaders and calls for a new Marshall Plan a la Wolfowitz for emerging democracies.
