In a geo-strategic oil producing location such as Uzbekistan it is absolutely vital to the interests of the U.S. The alternative is a stranglehold by Communist China and its ally Russia. It's funny that when I defended Westerners doing business with China as a business proposition disconnected from politics, you called me all sorts of names and accused me of being a nazi. But when Arnie points out that US support for dictatorships such as Uzbekistan can actually harm our interests in the long run (look what supporting the Shah got us) you say that supporting a dictatorship is vital to our interests, and better us than China. While it may be true that Uzbekistan is strategically important, supporting that dictatorship goes against Bush's hypocritical "let freedom ring" rhetoric as well as your own desire for China to be free and democratic. If democracy is good enough for the US, and a desirable outcome for China and NK, then why not the Uzbeks? Or are they not important, expendable in the cause of wealthier, more powerful nations? It is indeed funny when you have absolutely no comprehension of the significance between China and Uzbekistan. |
