And while various people were dying, a nice little drama has been going on in Kyrgyzstan.

Look at all the articles....

It's been compared to Georgia (nation) and the Ukraine.

The opposition seized power maybe a week or two ago.

A date has been set for the new election.

There's power struggles all over the place.

Which wasn't resolved by trying to declare the new parliament legitimate.

Most recently, the ousted president has officially stepped down.

This is only a sampling of the most recent articles in this event, and I suspect most people were pretty much unaware of any of it.

It's been all over the news here in Hungary as well. Alas, we're a bit closer to Kyrgyzystan... (how's that spelled in English?) though not that close as to Ukraine LOL. Or maybe it was because people just weren't interested in Schiavo.

I have absolutely no idea how to spell it in English. Most people don't know it exists, as far as I can tell.
