I've been waiting for this story from the the Guardian. it explains how the Americans are funding and engineering regime change in Eastern Europe and ex- Soviet states. Practice seems to be making perfect, with the exception of Belarus. oppositon there is too isolated and/or intimidated to organize effectively. They are also under the Russian media footprint without other external sources of news. One of the big differences for Ukraine is the diaspora, which although mostly clueless, does provide a link with the west.

Hopefully, they can get the same type of movement rolling in Kyrgyzstan first,then Kazakhstan. Uzbekistan will be much tougher, because Karimov has has a Lukashenko-like control of the government.
