Pakistan isnt the only place civil unrest is taking place...

President of Georgia Mikhail Saakashvili declared a state of emergency Thursday after anti-government protesters began to demonostrate and riot in the streets of the capital city demanding political reform and Saakashvili's resignation. The government forced opposition media off the air and the streets clear. Troops moved in with riot gear, tear gas, and now patrolling the streets with rubber clubs. Over 500 people have so far sought medical treatment.
