This, rather wonderful, story comes from Kirghizstan:

“It would be either the “lemon” or the “tulip” revolution. Kazbek and his friends could not quite decide. But as they watched Ukraine’s Orange Revolution unfold last year, they were convinced of one thing: Kyrgyzstan could be next. Their mountainous homeland was thousands of miles east of Ukraine, and one tenth of its size, but the political parallels between the former Soviet republics were striking…”

Read it all. And give a cheer to Kazbek.
