"Apocalypse Now"!-Oh, the Hypocrisy!! As Condi Rice claims that

[tmooses]

the US has now learned from its mistakes. "The United States, along with the rest of the free world, believed somehow for a number of years that people in this region didn't care about freedom," she said. "We cared about stability. And what we got was neither. We got a malignancy that was growing that came to haunt us on the fine September day" in 2001.

Meanwhile back in Uzbekistan, we are supporting a brutal dictator who brutalizes his own people and stifles freedom. "Mr. Karimov, an inaccessible and aloof autocrat, has long been broadly criticized for his government's persecution of political opponents, intolerance of freedom of religion and expression, and the systematic use of police roundups and torture, including genital mutilation, sexual assault and the boiling of suspects.
His lock on the country had been almost absolute. He was last re-elected in 2000 with 91.7 percent of the vote, an election generally regarded as fixed."

Sounds alot like all the reasons we claim we went in to Iraq for.
