This article deals with quite an important topic – the central Asian states. Therefore, I find the low number of interacts surprising. Then again, perhaps it should not be considered so, since your views appear to be highly prejudiced against the West (even the choice of the title reflects that). Your level of detail is interesting – even quite impressive, but it also includes a lot of trivia and usually the conclusions (even intermediate ones) that you present are very much your subjective “stand-alones”. You also seem to read too much into whatever diplomatic sound bites a lot of these newly emerging countries’ political leaders put out for the benefit of their domestic audiences. Individual countries – big or small – have a right to their own foreign policies. That many toe the U.S. line is because on the whole, their leaders find it beneficial for themselves and the countries to do so – pure and simple! Why you keep complaining about it is beyond me. Most of these entanglements are simply due to the nature of the game – being a superpower and acting like one!
Notes:
[USA is now caught in an Iraqi quagmire of its own making…]
Your anti-US bias comes through loud and clear!
[Hu said . ….. “They are wise and free enough to put their own houses in order.”]
Leave it to the Chinese, those seasoned veterans of Tiananmen Square, to lecture others on how to keep the house in “order”.
[``No one is telling them it should be tomorrow, in a month, in five months or in a year and a half, …”]
Or a lifetime, or whenever the US so pleases! Just the way we like it!
[Military doctrines and strategy under US Secretary of State Ronald Rumsfeld’s ‘ regime’ in the Pentagon , now in tatters , following a determined Iraqi resistance ….]
“Now in tatters”! Must be on some other planet!
[US trained and financed most of the Jihadi outfits in Afghanistan against USSR…]
That’s old news and old gripe – and it happened in a very different world of the cold war.
Harping on that does not serve any purpose at this time in the fight against terror.
