Do you think George Soros/State Dept whoever overreached? Seems Putin has drawn the line on these color coded revolutions.

I think this is the law of unintended consequences at work. The wave of "democratic" revolutions degenerates into chaos.

Don't be so sure the usual Western suspects were not behind these "protests".

From: Uzbek president blames Islamic group for violence:

The protesters, some calling for Karimov to stand down, gathered on Friday after armed rebels stormed a prison and freed inmates, including 23 businessmen charged with religious extremism. The rebels then seized the building and took about 10 police hostage.

Former [British] ambassador Craig Murray said the 23 had been detained on "patently false charges of Islamic extremism."

Well the democratic revolutions have brought a lawyer/mini-king to Georgia, a socialist and his oligarch PM to Ukraine and a former KGB strongman to Kyrgzstan. Not exactly a great record. Oh and it left purposely the Communists in Moldova, after they paid proper respect to the EU.
