The latest development in Georgia, where President Eduard Shevardnadze has resigned, has interesting roots. He was going to use the Military to stay in power. They obviously refused to support him. Why?

For the last five or so years, they have been trained by the American Military. Their Officer Corps has been "Professionalized" by us to a large degree. Our State Department had already condemed the last election.

I see a combination of the new backbone of the Armed Forces combined with our quiet warnings to the Officers not to set up a Dictatorship.
