Solving the Kyrgyzstan Crisis

[This is the answer to conflict and the way to peace. It is human nature to help when tragedy strikes. It is only natural that we reach across oceans and outstretch our hands deeply into the the Asian continent, when great conflict causes equally great misery. This is the edge of humanity, the former front lines where the two superpowers once came head to head. Now it is the front lines in the "peace war." The battle for peace must be won right here. We see how the giving process can overtake the organized taking, if only we rub the sand from our eyes. Feed the world and you will make friends. Wage war upon humanity and you will be hated by all mankind. With the shrinking of the world through the growth of the electronic mind, comes an awareness of the human faces involved in the latest tragedies, bringing with it the compassionate response.

The suffering child (just like the smiling healthy girl in the picture below) could just as easily be our own daughter. Easing their pain just a little, or making the path unto a better future just a little easier, sets a spirit of giving into motion. Enough people begin giving a little and a unified stream of hope begins to flow. The flowing river of hope begins to connect sources of help to needy people. With each act of giving or receiving, perceptions begin to change.

The changing of perceptions is as important as fighting against the greater war. In fact, changing human nature for the better is the real war. One side strives to overcome the will of man by force--the other side, my side, works to overcome human nature by appealing to reason. Draw out that force for goodness which lies dormant within each man or woman, so that each person can see for themselves what is the better way. Everyone of us will agree that there has to be a better way. I tell you, this is it.] -- Aid From ‘Humanity United’ Beginning To Flow Into Southern Kyrgyzstan

I know whom I am believing from now forward.

"Soldiers helped Kyrgyz mobs, group says" by Associated Press | August 17, 2010

BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan — Kyrgyzstan’s armed forces helped ethnic Kyrgyz mobs attack the minority Uzbek community in violence that left at least 370 people dead in June, a prominent human rights group said yesterday.

"Maksat Zheinbekov, the acting mayor of Jalal-Abad, said in a telephone interview that Bakiyev’s supporters in his home region started the riots by attacking both Uzbek and Kyrgyz.... Local police officials also have said that relatives of Bakiyev have been spotted leading Kyrgyz mobs and distributing weapons."

And CUI BONO, 'eh?

Human Rights Watch said many witnesses reported seeing individuals in camouflage attacking Uzbeks and using armored military vehicles to remove improvised roadblocks barring entry into Uzbek neighborhoods.

“This pattern raises serious concerns that some government forces either actively participated in, or facilitated attacks on, Uzbek neighborhoods by knowingly or unwittingly giving cover to violent mobs,’’ the group said.

How come HRW only tells you HALF of the STORY?!!

The report by the New York-based organization is the most ambitious attempt at an independent survey of the causes and consequences of the clashes, which also sent hundreds of thousands of people fleeing to neighboring Uzbekistan.

Translation: It is the West's compassionate cover-up arm as opposed to some government we no longer believe.

The spokesman for Kyrgyzstan’s interim government wouldn’t immediately comment on the report but said the government welcomes the probe.

They might; however, history tells us no government ever likes a probe.

Kyrgyzstan, a strategically located ex-Soviet Central Asian nation that hosts US and Russian military bases, has remained tense ahead of October’s parliamentary elections.

Someone would sure like it that way.

As far as I know those have not been closed down or emptied, nor have they been referenced in my MSM.

They should be ashamed of themselves for forgetting modern-day concentration camps of all things!
