This is indeed welcome news. Slowly, Europe is becoming an integral community.
I got to see and talk with those brave soldiers who endured the sufferings and transformation the Rose Revolution meant for Georgians, ever after--coming through Washington, DC.
I am sorry that Mr. Saakashvili has been imprisoned. If anything, the one characteristic those who fought for freedom and liberty in the Rose Revolution knew that independence from the Russian regime marks the inaugural of having one's own identity among the nations of the world. Georgia was fighting to become free, their own particular being, developing their own culture and path among nations of the world.
But I felt at the time in Washington, DC when many leaders from Georgia drifted among us, that there was a naivete in anticipating the military crew from the Kremlin they yet were to confront at their doors in Georgia. After all, Josef Stalin came from Georgia, as if that were to shackle Georgians forever to the Russian Bear!
Still, you are independent and like Ukraine, you fight for your family to stay independent, to be Georgian, following your way of life. I respect you!
My opinion.
