| | Boehm, Christian: Democracy in Kyrgyzstan - Reforms, Rhetorics and Realities |
| | For instance the announcement by president Akaev to hold presidential elections on dec. 24th was heavily criticised by some donors, because they (not surprisingly) saw it as an attempt by the government to get rid of Western election observers. | | | But I believe that as long as Akaev continues to be the president in Kyrgyzstan, the government will adhere to democratic principles. | | | Since the president is heavily supporting the reform-line within the government, we should expect that he is not popular any more and that he stood for loosing the presidential election, which might have meant the end of democracy in Kyrgyzstan. |

| | The greatest of them--St. Augustine, St. Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Richard Hooker, and the American Puritans--had strong notions of justice, derived from natural law and divine law, which enabled them to oppose tyranny, oppression, and exploitation. | | | Christians tend to blame tensions between their faith and American life - such as abortion rights, the promotion of homosexual marriage, excessive individualism and materialism, social injustices - on misunderstandings of human rights and false theories of democracy. | | | The logic of their position can be reduced to three propositions: Christian ethics teaches universal love; universal love implies respect for the inherent dignity of every person; and respect for the dignity of every person implies the natural or human rights principles of modern liberal democracy. |
