You keep bring Uzbeckistan in this. This isn't a cop out, but this isn't really relevent

It's entirely relevant, considering that this thread is about the extension (or, actually, the potential start of) democracy in a country, which, it has been posited, was due to US pressure. Fine, I'm actually all in favour of spreading democracy by using diplomatic pressure, funding pro-democracy groups etc. (as happened in Ukraine).
I'm just rather perplexed at why the Kuwaiti development is considered so wonderful when policy in other areas of the world is the exact opposite. A bit of consistency wouldn't go amiss.

That hardly makes Uz the perfect ally for the US

Taken to another thread to avoid going OT.
Incog - if the US didn't keep doing dumb things, we wouldn't keep bashing it.
