Object: US blames demonstrators for getting themselves killed in Uzbekistan
Up to 600 people are feared dead after soldiers opened fire on a mass
gathering in one of the country's largest cities. One teenage boy told the
Washington Post "They shot at us like rabbits." Even the local police begged
the soldiers to stop shooting. In the end hundreds of bodies -- including
those of women and children -- filled the square.
Uzbekistan is one of the Bush administration's closet allies in Central Asia
despite the country's notorious human rights record. President Bush, former
Secretary of State Colin Powell and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld
have all personally met with the Uzbek president. A year ago Rumsfeld
traveled to Uzbekistan where the US runs a strategically placed military
base and said "I am delighted to be back in Uzbekistan."
Following the mass killings on Friday, the Bush administration appeared to
blame the demonstrators for what happened. White House spokesperson Scott
McClellan said "We have had concerns about human rights in Uzbekistan, but
we are concerned about the outbreak of violence, particularly by some
members of a terrorist organization that were freed from prison."
Before the shooting took place, protesters had overrun a jail freeing as
many 2000 prisoners. The Uzbek government as well as the Bush administrators
has portrayed the demonstrators as Islamic terrorists. But according to the
BBC the protests were largely made up of people calling for an end to
poverty and injustice. According to Human Rights Watch torture and police
brutality are widespread in Uzbekistan. The country has no independent
political parties, no free and fair elections, and no independent news
media. In December President Bush decided to keep giving aid to Uzbekistan
despite the country's failure to meet U.S. conditions on human rights.
----------
Uzbekistan is also one of the countries where the US sends suspects for
torture through the extraordinary rendition program. One of the better known
techniques used by the Uzbeks is the boiling of prisoners.

If only the unarmed demonstrators and assorted civilian spectators had
shown some restraint during the incident, there might not have been
such a bloody outcome.
Imagine, having the unmitigated gall to get in the way of a hail of
machine gun bullets fired by troops in the employ of another
bloodthirsty U.S. supported tyranny.
How unreasonable can those (now dead) people have been?

I'm actually more or less in agreement with you here (and yes, I did detect
your sarcasm). Notice the ruling regime immediately blamed it on "Islamic
extremists", presumably because they assumed Bush would give them a free
hand if that were the case. They are showing their true colours now, and it
will be intersting to see how it pans out, what with the basing rights issue
etc.

That's pretty clever of you, tw, to force me into I situation where I
have no choice but to admit I must be wrong. LOL! Actually, in all
seriousness, there may be some hope for you.

Like attracts like - note how the Bush admin set up the "with us or
against us" mentality here in the US.
