Can't understand how this simple lesson is not learned.

In a geo-strategic oil producing location such as Uzbekistan it is
absolutely vital to the interests of the U.S.
The alternative is a stranglehold by Communist China and its ally Russia.


China and Russia are not allies.

Interests of the US will be damaged in the long run by supporting such
regimes.


Look at Haiti. The US backed dictator Papa Doc Duvalier and his successor son
for about THIRTY years. They were monsters. Just a little while ago, they put
the ELECTED leader Aristide, at gunpoint, on a plane to France. Go figure.
