Soviet Democracy

Russia may not be referred to as the actual proponent of democracy. But at least Putin and his cronies are not derailing another county's free will.

After Georgia and Ukraine, it is the turn off of Kyrgyztan to throw out self- proclaimed elected leaders. And of course one knows where the backing came from.

Putin favoured Kyrgyztan president Akayev could have used power, military-- reminiscent of the Soviet era-- to quell the opposition uprising. Akayev for all the bad press he has attracted functioned as a true democrat. He ordered the home guard to stay away from using force and instead he fled the country.

So much for U.S and its cry for free world. What happened in Iraq? and what probably can happen in Iran, North Korea?
