I hope this helps.

Debbie, Moldova (where I live) is between Romania and Ukraine. I am surprised that US media covers the events in Kiev? I am sure they don't say anything about Moldova. (althought today your State Secretary discussed the issue of Moldova at some meeting in Bulgaria.)
Yes, Vio, it helps immensely! Thank you so much. I'm actually surprised the media is covering it as much as they are also, but you should know it's Public Radio that I listen to and not the regular media. Public Radio seems to be much more focused on the world than the regular media, which I like. They actually had a US citizen that's living there giving reports. She lived right down where all the protests were and they had to ask her to close her window so we could hear her over all the horns honking and other noise from the crowds. It was very interesting to listen to her and to hear how progress was going on the protests.

Also, I think it's big news because it's an election thing. For some reason the US thinks we're the experts on fair elections and we seem to get involved anytime there's a question about an election in another country. Now all you have to do is explain to me why, if we're the experts, did other countries come in to monitor our most recent election to make sure everything was fair and above board?
