#2 WMF > POOR STANDARDS OF LIVING, LACK OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT THE REAL CAUSE OF THE RIOTS, COUP IN SCO-MEMBER STATE KYRGYZSTAN: CHINA, SCO SHOULD SEND TROOPS TO ENFORCE PUBLIC SAFETY, STABILIZE GOVT.

and

SAME > KYRGYZSTAN IS RUSSIA AND CHINA'S "TAIWAN" IN CENTRAL ASIA WHERE US MILITARY FORCES CANNOT BE ALLOWED TO BE PERMANENTLY ESTABLISHED [irregardless of any Islamist, Other Ethnic nationlaist threat].

versus

PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUMS > NEW KYRGYZSTAN RULERS THANK RUSSIA, AIM TO SHUT DOWN US AIRBASE [Manas AB], + KYRGYZSTAN RIOTS THREATEN AFGHAN WAR'S PREMIER AIR HUB, + US RELIES ON KEY AIR BASE IN KYRGYZSTAN.

Indirectly, the success of the Kyrgyztsan rioters show once again that the "WINNING OF HEARTS-N-MINDS" IN WAR OR PEACE, IS JUST AS IMPORTANT, IFF NOT MORESO, AS PROPER APPLICATION OF OVERWHELMING MILITARY FORCE.

JOBS, ECON DEV, HOPE FOR THE FUTURE, A BETTER WAY.......@ETC., than just BRUTE FORCE, aka "WINNING THE PEACE".
