all bad political leaders should suffer the fate of the gallows.. this applies to any country anywhere.. the military does the dirty work of the leaders and that is the problem.. the military does not think it just acts.

Why did they interview Akaev, no difference between bakiev and akaev.

[DmitryDaren]

his face needs tome make-up, like the people did to the security minister.

[IconoclastWanderlust]

Russians have a nerve to talk about murdered journalists. How many hundreds were killed in the last 10 years?

Good thing Kurmanbek Bakiyev was overthrown,he should resign soon because he is not helping matters,and he is making a fool of himself.The Western backed revolution that started in 2005 is now finished.Hopefully Kyrgyzstan will become a democracy in a region that is autocratic.Kyrgyzstan should not be controlled by any country,and I ma sick and tired about media reports concerning what will happen to the Manas airbase.Who cares,the Kyrgyz people are important.

@franklikespolitics sorry I'm a little confused what do you want me to explain about capitalism? And what is your response to the message I sent to you about some of my problems with Marxist thought?

[franklikespolitics]

@Peadarisback Very good, I hope others check out your response. Lewis Henry Morgan lived with the Iroquois Indians about the 1850's or so. He learned their language and came to the conclusion their society was egalitarian. Because of the way uncles and aunts were addressed, he felt it pointed to an earlier form marriage,, or group marriage, where 5 brothers might marry 5 sisters and no one really knew who the father was. Now if you would explain how the capitalist system out of business. :-)

@franklikespolitics Yes, it is strange, socialism, use to be good, it use to mean gender - equality sovereignty and anti-racism self-determination, now they still use those terms, but they are doing the opposite, Left means, racism, both institutional AKA affirmative A. And the very concept of replacing the native populance, it means importing labour, which undercuts workers, and importing Muslims and other who view women as lesser, which means women are victimized.
