#1 That's a neat trick. Violently overthrow a vulnerable dictator, and then charge him with murder for any casualties.

Wonder who the new tyrant will be? Some pliable Moscow lickspittle, no doubt.

I'm rather surprised that Bakiyev is staying in Belarus, wonder if the Russians are planning on using him to keep their new puppet in line with the implied threat of a return to sender for lack of postage.
