Default Kyrgyzstan conflict

The Wiki - article calls it "2010 South Kyrgyzstan riots" but with maybe 700+ dead I'd call it a conflict that covers the whole nation and not a riot.

Q&A: Kyrgyzstan's ethnic violence

Both Russia and the US have a stake in the issue, the area is close to Russia and the US has a military base there which at one point was 'closed' due to the conflict. The base is vital in keeping US's war in Afghanistan going.

A new front in the war. Whoopee-****.



[EDIT]

Are there any sane people here at Subsim who hail from the Middle East and surrounding regions? For <deity> sake, I want a human perspective for a change, and solutions (not what our respective "patriotic" haters want us to believe)!! FU-!!!! I cannot tell anyone how pissed off I am about this war. Is there a sane person left in this world? Goddammit!!!

If no one will help me with this here, please have the courtesy to hunt me down and shoot me to death. I hate the human race. PM me for my physical address. Thanks.

[EDIT]
Better yet, haul my sorry ass out into the street and slash my throat open. Let my heaving body squeal with all the blood that's pooled up into my lungs. That will get the point across to the rest of my countrymen, right? PM me, you sorry worthless dogs. I will give you my address.

Nah, it's a pretty old front.

Very sad, beautiful country.

They're called "Kyrgyz", and it only goes downhill from there.

I jest not, Kyrgistan is screwed. It's a land-locked nation on a cultural crossroads with a provisional socialist government operating under the guise of a modern democracy, which is to say that it is socialist. No amount of anything will pull that country out of the gutter until they make their own changes.

You sir, have just the kind of attitude the Marine Corps needs. Someone with a little perspective relative to the misson! It may not mean much coming from me, but I would be glad to fight alongside you, sir!

You are aware, that they did some change recently and chased the old government out?
The socialist haven't been in power for a long time yet, so all the problems we face now are hardly only their fault.

I'm aware that they did some housecleaning, but the numbers in the CIA world factbook tell me that they didn't do much at all.

Time will tell, I suppose.

Russia should help? Have probably forgotten as in the beginning 90 cut off Russian of a head and showed in the market as show. God not the fool, it all sees. Independence wanted - let guzzle similar.

dont worry about it, every body rants once and a while...

the only difference between a verbal rant and an iternet rant is that this rant will be here forvever.....

....even if some future employer runs a backround or security check on you, 20, 30 or even 40 years from now....

...not that you should worry about it...

Well I agreed with you and don't see any need for you to apologise.

War is usually futile and I should imagine many here at SS are sick to death of it also
