Hello! That's the subject I would like to raise for discussion – is it not too costly for the West in general and America in particular to go on with sponsoring and supporting good-for-nothing initiatives of various incapable regimes like the one of Saakashvili in Georgia?

See, during the following two months, Saakashvili is planning to spend at least $30 mln (according to preliminary calculation!) to provide work of pro-Georgian government in exile in Abkhazia! This huge amount of money is needed to provide the "alternative Abkhaz authorities" with all they consider necessary – headquarters, personal and administrative use transport, office appliances, communications facilities, accommodations. Besides that, they will need security guard, helicopters, antiaircraft defenses, some 25 ATVs and as many executive cars, etc. Ironically, these costs have not been budgeted. Saakashvili once again will address Bush Administration for extra financial aid and they are likely to say Yes!

Now, I would like to make it specific that this money is not meant to be used for building "outpost of democracy" but to upraise new totalitarian regime; thought it is yet pro-American (I specify – YET!), it rather smells like dictatorship! At the same time, democratic honeys and positive attitude to the US (and the West in general) get prejudiced as the population of Georgia suffers from overall violation of their rights, socioeconomic convulsions in the country, which result from the regime so emphatically supported by the our top politicians in Washington, D.C. Nowadays, the US (and the West as such) undergoes considerable hardship and we must not waste money we could put to much better and smart use. I think that it is clear that all heaves by Saakashvili eventually end up in zilch or warfare (dunno which is worse), and supporting it is a mere waste! Think of it.
