Thank you. What I found interesting was that apparently the demostrations were waning before the crackdown.<BR/><BR/>I am indeed hopeful that you are able to travel there in 2009!Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645484704486562810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18762198.post-63169522448190613662007-11-08T08:13:00.000-08:002007-11-08T08:13:00.000-08:00I'm not planning on returning this year, as I have...I'm not planning on returning this year, as I have been there the last 2 years. I do plan to return in 2009, however.<BR/><BR/>I have been reading of the crackdown and the political demonstrations. I'm concerned, and not exactly sure where I come down on it. I hate to see the police crackdowns, but I am not sure I would be comfortable with the opposition either, funded as it is by Georgia's richest citizen. The country has a history of being ruled by strongmen, and I believe that is what is playing out now between 2 rivals. Democracy, as we understand it, is a new concept in that part of the world. Georgians can be a little argumentative among themselves, anyway. If I was planning to go there, I wouldn't let the in-house political disturbances deter me. It shouldn't interfere with tourism in the least.Terry (John)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07523479530843509695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18762198.post-60508181612063182712007-11-07T19:18:00.000-08:002007-11-07T19:18:00.000-08:00Are you going?And, what do you think of the news c...Are you going?<BR/><BR/>And, what do you think of the news coming out of Georgia re: the crackdown?Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645484704486562810noreply@blogger.com
