when he tries to harm them because they won't put him before their own people's interests.
Any country's leader who's happy to sell the poor out to American-based multinationals as wildly cheap labor, any country which allows American-based multinationals to plunder its resources, while giving almost NOTHING back, while bribing all the expected high-ranking officials, any country which hesitates to allow the World Bank or IMF to make them huge loans they can't afford to pay back, then maneuver their affairs around until they end up privatizing things like the very water they drink, even to the point of charging them for trying to collect goddamned RAINWATER in vessels in their own yards, will ALWAYS be popular with American business-serving pResidents, at the great expense of his own people.
Here's Uzbekistan, run by a mega-monster and leading ghoul, someone right out of horror stories, who does, as you said, BOIL his enemies, and
Bush thought the sun rose and set in him, until he started trying to raise the cost of doing business in his country not too long ago. It could be the word was getting too public to allow
Bush to continue using Uzbekistan in the same way, so he started backing away, fearing bad publicity. Whatever it was, was LONG after he had been Islam Karimov's big friend from America.
This is a disgrace beyond redemption. If there were any justice,
Bush would have to stand with Karimov on Judgement Day, to explain just how the hell these people ended up BOILED TO GODDAMNED DEATH while they all carried on bidness as usual.
Bush's Ukrainian pResident buddy,
Victor Yuschenko loves Karimov, as well.
