Good for them. Of course, not a word of coverage from the insular American MSM.

[BenLurkin]

sounds like Moldova has a case of ACORN style election fraud.

[GeronL]

They need to keep at it.

Nobody in the U.S. even knows where Moldova is....which means our journos know even less.

I await our president to comment on how he’d like to address them in “Moldovian.”

How long will it be before 0bama sends US troops to help the Moldovan government to “keep the peace?”

[mia]

Scary. This could be us if Obama continues to move to the left and the MSM convinces the “undecided” that Obama is the Messiah.

Europe wary of new Russia tensions over Moldova - April 8, 2009 - Moscow's move on Wednesday to join President Vladimir Voronin in blaming neighbour and EU-member Romania for stoking the violence -- an accusation denied by Bucharest -- highlighted the risk of escalation. "The EU should go and it should go now," said Andrew Wilson at London's European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), urging EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana to go to Moldova and act as a mediator between the government and opposition. "But, yes, that would annoy the hell out of Russia."

Personally, I think Transdniestra should be given independence and the rests of Moldova should join Romania.

...the citizens of now-independent Moldova, having elected Europe's only Communist Party government in 2001, remained conspicuously calm and silent. But on Tuesday, thousands of young Moldovans surprised the world by erupting into the streets of the capital Chisinau to protest alleged fraud in Sunday's elections, which saw the ruling Communist Party returned with 50 percent of the votes.
