Those "misgivings" you talk about are grave violations, which normally would mean undemocratic elections. Take a look at the OSCE preliminary report, or even comments by Dieter Boden once more. If you think those violations are unfortunate misgivings, then... What the EU, NATO and USA do with regard to praising these elections, is simply unethical. It is not their choice who will be the president in Georgia. It is peoples' choice. Many in Georgia are angry, because what they see is the West supporting an illegitimate president. Do read the preliminary report, and think if you, in your country would agree to such misgivings. Before stamping the result, it would be plausible to call the Georgian authorities to investigate those violations. Instead, the reaction was "please, try to improve those faults in the future, ok?" There were intentional, planned and shocking instances of fraud. I am sorry to say, but you are wrong in your assessment.
