I admire American ideas.

It is time we Georgians did not depend only on others, it is time we asked what Georgia will do for the world.

Well, killing me makes no sense because Georgia already has a Western-educated political class.

Understandably, no peace can sustained when people continue to suffer from hunger, lack of jobs, lack of basic public services - and most of all - lack of opportunity or hope.

America has value-based leadership. America is valued - America is followed by other nations, including my own nation, because it's based on the values that America has to offer to the rest of the world - freedom, freedom of choice, democracy, open market.

First and foremost - our vision for a united and peaceful Georgia is based on respect for the desire - and respect for the right - to South Ossetian autonomy.

Georgia does not need Russia as an enemy.
