International community comes knocking

Once again, the US is being asked to go above and beyond its responsibilities by the International Community.

Georgia's new leaders, boosted by United States support for the bloodless ousting of president Eduard Shevardnadze, sought urgent financial aid yesterday and called for order and stability after the country's "velvet revolution".

A senior economic aide close to the interim president said Georgia would ask Washington for $US5 million ($A7 million) to stage new elections, after a discredited November 2 parliamentary ballot led to Mr Shevardnadze's downfall.

I wonder if the UN will become upset if the US takes this unilateral action?
