America's dictator problem in Uzbekistan.

The writer forgets one of the usual stages in the USA`s support of
dictatorships: The replacement of a ruler with an another, which
the US hopes will be a more to it´s taste and will do the reforms
that US declares it wants. But I don´t think that Islam Karimov
should fear for this - after all, he has the support of Russia as a kind
of life-insurance, if the Americans began to seek his replacement.

Interesting question is, is Mohammed Dahlan the USA´s choice for
a replacement ruler in Palestine? Would he do the USA´s bidding
and meekly surrender to the demands of the colonialists?
