Georgia received quite simlar sum of money as Ukraine while conducting rose revolution. I am not argue now "it was prepared action or not". But Georgia is at first much smaller country and it doesn't have problems with identification of its citizens. You call rules of Saakashvili as "more determined" in its pursuit to do reforms. Rose revolution coalition knows that West is fat, milky cow, and can guarante of security (Abhasia is in fact ruled by Russia). I am not sure of your data that"view on NATO membership had 70% public support". As I could notice - there is not support neither for rose coalition nor for any its decision. I presume that Saakashvili rule will be soon simlar to autocrasy. Support for membership in NATO is posible as long elite decide to give it. In Georia there is no democrasy even in creeping form (but it doesn't disturb joining NATO, even helps) P.S. Ryga is nice city indeed. And somethig about Georia.

I think is still more soviet than western. It tkaes time to learn to think in democratic way. As long as Lenin is a hero and streets are named after killers od Stalin's era Ukrainian people won't write even first chapter of building democrasy in their heads. So how do u think - what NATO was and still seems to be in Ukrainian peoples heads? NATO and Ukraine is a virtual question. I like your optimism concering Ukraine, Mr. K ;-)
