Re: Freedom House; rankings are rankings - not the end-all be-all indicator for a country, but good information to take into account in addition to everything else. Optimism for optimism's sake is pointless, but I'm a lot more worried about the news coming out of pretty much every other country in the region. Plus, I think sometimes we forget just how rocky democracy can be at the start, even for countries that turn out relatively well. Yeah, I saw the Registan post, and it makes some good points.

Optimism for optimism’s sake is pointless, but I’m a lot more worried about the news coming out of pretty much every other country in the region. Plus, I think sometimes we forget just how rocky democracy can be at the start, even for countries that turn out relatively well.

And, I don't know whether the Freedom House ranking can really tell us a lot about the realities on the ground. This index is probably heavily influenced by the rose-red mood after the March '05 events. I am getting a little concerned about the recent news from Bishkek, and I really really hope you're right.
