Since coming to power in 2004 with US aid, Saakashvili has led a policy of mass-scale arrests, imprisonment, torture and deepened corruption. Saakashvili has presided over the creation of a de facto one-party state, with a dummy opposition occupying a tiny portion of seats in the parliament, and this public servant is building a Ceaucescu-style palace for himself on the outskirts of Tbilisi. According to the magazine, Civil Georgia (Mar. 22, 2004) until 2005, the salaries of Saakashvili and many of his ministers were reportedly paid by the NGO network of New York-based currency speculator Soros—along with the United Nations Development Program.

It only stands to reason that things have changed in Georgia since Shevardnarze reportedly pulled Reagan aside at the height of the cold war talks to show him a picture of a cross, apparently communicating that the then current government was not made up of the evil, atheistic totalitarians of the past. But, this story! Oh man, silly me, I'd been outraged over 9/11 and the WMD scare! Could it really be as bad as all this? Wait, don't answer that!
And, the Goddess of Democracy in Tiananmen Square, not just a Chinese concoction!? When does football start, again?
