Uzbekistan- a human rights mess



Bush's War on Terror, I mean World War III, I mean the Crusades, I mean the Struggle Against Ideological Extremists Who Do Not Believe in Free Societies Who Happen to Use Terror as a Weapon to Try to Shake the Conscience of the Free World has given dictators like Karimov free reign to suppress their populations. All they have to do is say dissenters have ties to terrorists and voila, the opposition disappears. More than 400 refugees were flown to Romania by the UN a few days ago because neighboring Kyrgyzstan wants to deport them back to Uzbekistan, where they no doubt would suffer cruel fates at the hands of the murderous Karimov regime.

Since Karimov has kicked the US out of Uzbekistan, perhaps the Bush administration will no longer let the War for War's Sake get in the way of condemning the regime's brutal abuse of its people. Then again, the Bushies don't give a damn about human rights.
