pushing the traditional Sufi version of Islam toward fundamentalism. 1,000
unarmed were killed on 13 May 2005. We'll hear alot more about this
country in the future, unless a better understanding of how anger at a
brutal regime propped up by a foreign power can fertilise overseas violence
and terror. Can't understand how this simple lesson is not learned.
A couple months ago, long before the recent mass murder, Economists
Magazine nominated him the second worst dictator in the world. Second
only to Kim Jong Il in NK.
That's probably Turkmenistan, not Uzbekistan. It's getting to the
point where you can't tell those central asian dictatorships apart.

You are right, of course. I just confirmed it in someting I wrote
right after I read the issue. Thanks.
Al is often wrong... best to ignore him!
His mission after all is simply to rant and bitch about Bush and/or the USA,
whether he has the facts behind him or not.
Go tote it Al.
