#2  So far the Kyrgyz protests instead of genuine pro-democracy revolts (like in Ukraine), seem to revolve instead around specific members of the political elite that objected to their own exclusion from the power-pie. Their protest are not united, and each elite excluded just tries to win the district he ran in, instead of having a common democratic vision. Unlike Georgia and Ukraine they couldn't agree even in choosing a leader among them.

#1  Oops! Looks like rigging the elections hasn't served you very well after all, eh Akayev? Want to try that election thingy again? Mebbe you can improve on the "Free and Fair" aspect a tad. Of course, now it's too late. They'd toss your ass like a rotten dictator tater...

It will be Spring in Switzerland, soon, asshole...
