    About damn time.

                I think we'd like Karimov to modify his policies, with regard to dissidents. This would A. Make a takeover by radical Islamists LESS likely, by strengthening other opposition elements B. Reduce support across the region for AQ. C. Add credibility to prodemocracy positions elsewhere. The US would still like to keep the base in Uzbek, though.

                    But the Pentagon has been anxious to maintain strong ties in order to continue using the Uzbek air base.


                    They've been threatening not to let us stay on those air bases for some time now.
