Why the US won't admit it was jilted

Sanctions should be imposed on Uzbekistan's repugnant regime

President Karimov of Uzbekistan has served notice to quit on the US
base in his country. This completes a process of diplomatic revolution
as Karimov turns away from the west and back into the embrace of
Russia, with coy sideways glances at China. The US is trying to cover
its retreat behind a smokescreen of belated concern for human-rights
abuse in Uzbekistan. Suddenly one of their most intensively courted
allies has been discovered - shock horror - to be an evil dictator.
(Remember Saddam?) But the reality is much more complex.
