For several days the lead story on the BBC's The World Today has
been
about the massacre in Andijan, Uzbekistan. Short version: thousands
gathered in the center of town to protest the arrest of the town's
major
business leaders on terrorism charges; crowd got restless, soldiers
fired on them. Anywhere from 300 to 1000 innocent civilians died,
but
we
don't know for sure since the Uzbek govt has sealed off the area
and
has
forbidden journalists from going there. Anecdotal reports tell of
trucks
filled with bodies, of school gyms piled high with bodies. Why is
this
important to Americans? The Uzbek govt is a strong ally of the US,
and
America has a big base in the country to supply our guys in
Afghanistan.
Is it just coincidence that coverage of all this in the US domestic
media has been limited? Why does the Bu****e US media want to
protect
the US public from the fact that we support a regime that has just
murdered hundreds of its own people in the name of fighting terror?
It's called hypocrisy.
Yeah, and of course none of it is the fault of the 'restless crowd'...
it's all
Bush's fault...
So it's ok for a government to massacre it's people? Did anyone tell
that
to Bush before he invaded Iraq? According to the pro-wra, pro-Bush crowd
it
was bad that Saddam killed his own. So which is it?
As I stated earlier 'tard, take your pills, and try to find a clue.
Boggling.
I'll take that as a "I don't know, FDR"
