There is no question Bakiyev's corrupt dealings have hurt the people. But it is also important to look at the new ruling group, and not be blinded by their pressure for pursuing former President. I have found it disturbing that this informal group now heading Kyrgizstan is committing acts that can permanently damage the country. It is easy in the afterglow of the successful revolution to avoid the "warts" of the new regime. But the trouble signs are aplenty, and Russia is well advised to try to help the population directly, but wait until a legitimate government is elected. The problem signs include the decision by the ruling team to change the Constitution. They should not be allowed to do that! They need to organize elections for the Parliament, and the President. Then follow the laws as they exist, until the Parliament --- representing all people --- change the Constitution should they desire to do so. Also, the interrim rulers are going too far with the extradition drama. This is to keep the populace in trans, while they take their sweet time --- six months --- to write new consitution, new election laws, and act as if they are the legitimate rulers of Kyrgizstan. With all due respect for the tragedy, these people are unknowns. The troubling reports by no other then top analyst of the region, M.K. Bhadrakumar, point to the role of drug barrons in the coup. So, it may be helpful to see who is in charge, and where does their money come from, before they are allowed to be so high and mighty. The changes to consitution would bar any party from having more then 50% delegates in Parliament! This is to guarantee hung parliament, a situation all countries tend to avoid if they can help it! This is to make into the law the right to manipulate parties --- and take away the power of voters. Also, Election commission is to give away 2/3 of the vote to UN, OSCE, and others. Another sign, that the new people have no confidence voters.
