Well, I *obviously* spoke too soon about Kyrgyzstan.
This one wasn't as peaceful, as unified, or as prolonged as the Rose, Orange or Cedar revolutions. But it's certainly been effective, the one they now are calling either "Tulip" or "Lemon" or "Yellow" or "Pink" revolution (told you it wasn't as unified as the previous ones -- they may have overthrown the old government, forced Akayev out of the country, freed an imprisoned opposition leader, and installed a new interim president, but that doesn't mean they can decide on a name or color! :-D )
What none of us know as yet is this revolution's actual nature -- if it's a democratic one or if it will install a regime that'll be as authoritarian as the old one. Waiting to see.
