I would tend to defer to Kerensky on this one since he is seeing it first hand. (right?) Mob rule is a pretty powerful tool. Especially in a society whee newfound freedoms are suddenly thrust upon you. I liken it to a kid who turns 21 and can drink for the first time. He gets piss drunk and passes out because he doesnt know his limits or when to say when because he has no reference point from which to begin. So his authority figures need to pick him up, dust him off and try to guide him in the best way possible. We werent there to guide them as "teens", so it will take a while to 'smarten' them up.

I would try to work with the clerics and religous people as much as possible. Use muslim soldiers wherever possible if they have to try to make some kind of connection. And get the infrastructure back up and running as quickly as possible.
