Sir:
I object to Hockenberry referring to the uprising in Kyrgyzstan as a "coup." A coup is a military overthrow of the government. But in Kyrgyzstan we have a democratic popular uprising. Furthermore, where is the critique of Obama and his government in not immediately supporting this piopular democratic action?
