Yup this is true and there's also the matter of all that tasty central Asian oil. Yum!
It's just very galling that the United States government don't even attempt to hide the obvious hypocrisies at work here. If you're going to turn a blind eye or even support dictatorships in some countries, then please don't go around extolling the values of freedom and democracy in others. It's insane!
However, if the situation gets any worse in Uzbekistan then I have no idea what the response of the US will be. There's the potential for this to get really nasty.
