Don't endorse Saakashvili!

Backing of their current administration by the USA is the last thing Georgians need today.

Saakashvili has mismanaged the country and turned it into a murky place. Not that it wasn't before his messianic coming, but now the murkiness is in the spotlight. The perpetual straining of relationships with Russia is no positive way to lead a country. Saakashvili probably endorses the neo-conservative enemy mentality, i.e. that there needs to be an enemy for the nation to be united. This is the only basis for such an ill-timed endorsement for such an administration.

The principles behind the Rose Revolution are noble. Sometimes it does happen that the right cause is advocated and pursued by the wrong person. Until we realize this Georgians will suffer.
