| #3 Thibaud, I think you're wrong about Uzbekistan being disposable; we need to stage into Afghanistan from somewhere... OTOH, I am starting to like Karimov less and less. I doubt we're getting anywhere letting people like him (or Mubarak) use the US the way they do. The way he mismanages the country economically actually makes the threat of an extremist takeover there more likely, because they get to pretend they're reformers and victims. |

| #2 I don't know for sure, but I doubt these are seriously muslim types. Karimov is disposable. We're already shifting our base and materiel to Afghanistan and have little need for real estate in Uzbekistan any more. |

| #1 I do a Google search, and find the usual suspects whinig about the treatment of "Independent Moslems". Islam Karimov is a thug, but he is with us on the WOT. Let's not do a "Jimmy Carter", or we will have another Iran in Cenral Asia... Let us also not forget what "Independent Moslems" did to us on 9-11-01! |
