Kyrgzstan

Looks like a  revolution in the works. Demonstrators have burned down a police station, but the protests have been mostly peaceful.

So it's nice to see after Kyrgzstan's government stole the  election that White House has come down unequivocally on the side of democracy. Or something like that:

"We are concerned by incidents of violence in Jalal-Abad and other parts of the country," said an administration statement. "We call on all parties in Kyrgyzstan to engage in dialogue and resolve differences peacefully and according to the rule of law."

P.S.  Good to know we're all (nearly) on the same page: "Illegal actions lead to the aggravation of tensions, have a negative impact on the political situation and should be condemned," said Russia's Foreign Ministry.

P.P.S. There are a bunch of reasons why the growing protests  in Kyrgzstan have received scant coverage. It only has five million people; it's opposition leader wasn't horribily disfigured in a diabolical plot, and, my main theory: How do you pronounce Kyrgzstan?
