Exactly....Mushareff is the winner over Putin in your little "how can bamboozle Bush better" contest. Right after 9/11 Mushareff recognized that as a former supporter of the Taliban he and his cronies needed to "appear" to abandon them and ally with America or not only national opinion in the U.S. but World opinion would justify any U.S. action taken against him and his government. He did this masterfully, talking one thing in public while in private thwarting everything we needed to do (which you listed). Everytime the heat for democratic reform began to build again, he waived the bloody shirt of "islamic militants" and we backed away and gave him everything he wanted...more money, more authority. He denied us at every turn in our efforts to chase down OBL, he signed a "peace treaty" with the Taliban, he walked away from the rule of law in his own country. And what did America, the nation that keeps harping to the rest of the Middle East about democracy, do? We let him get away with it..and now why is anyone surprised? The lawyers and opponenets are being rounded up (not islamic militants, I might add) and all in the name of stopping those pesky Islamic militants... And will we cut off aid to him now. No. He is "our dictator", so no matter what he does, we have to keep feeding him.....
