		To be fair, Karimov is not solely responsible for this tragedy -the loss of subsidies from Moscow hit the republic hard.
		If Islam Karimov has not met the material needs of his people, he has at least attended to their spiritual yearnings.
		This is contributing to a widespread sense of discontent.

		Islam Karimov, the Uzbek President, is enigmatic and problematical, for despite sporting a name unmistakably Islamic, his actions puzzle not just Muslims, but also organisations of the world community, the International rights watchdog Human Rights Watch to name but one.
		Karimov’s trip to the USA in March this year at the invitation of U.S President George Bush was enough proof for him that he had ‘arrived,’ with organised top-level talks and meetings with members of Congress, Senate and House of Representatives, members of business circles and the public.
		Karimov even tried to soften his reputation for intolerance ahead of his March U.S. visit by ordering an unprecedented ruling, in an Uzbek court, to sentence four policemen to prison sentences for torturing to death a detainee and seriously injuring a second.

	Islam Karimov Hit by Boycott - Kommersant Moscow
		Several years ago Islam Karimov was trying to establish a relationship with West and create the reputation as the most pro-Western leader in all Central Asia: he participated in anti-Russian bloc GUUAM (Georgia, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Moldavia); he actively cooperated with the USA and even allowed American base on Uzbek territory.
		Karimov has no way out, because he needs any allies he can find, especially giving in consideration the fact that Uzbekistan did not have too good of relationship with its neighbors.
		Even if the Karimov successor would be a person from his surrounding, most likely he will reconsider all the agreements with Moscow and would go to the West to ask for forgiveness.

		Karimov also acknowledged that young people in the region lack opportunities to develop and succeed, concluding that this has negatively affected their morale and pushed some of them to join various groups such as Akramiya and Hizb ut-Tahrir.
		Karimov's statement indicated a significant shift in the official interpretation of the Andijon events, which were dubbed a massacre in reports by such rights organizations as Human Rights Watch, which claim that hundreds of people -- most of them unarmed protesters -- were slaughtered by government troops.
		Karimov's address suggested that local authorities in Andijon could face consequences if the official version begins to stress rampant corruption and high unemployment as the causes.

		In turn, Karimov, seeking to tap in US support for his crimes, immediately blamed Islamic extremists for the entire uprising, claiming that it was organized by members of the pan-Islamic Hizb-ut-Tahrir.
		Karimov, hoping to prevent the recurrence of the Kyrgyzstan crisis where Askar Akayev’s government was overthrown in March by popular protests, was keen on reassuring Putin concerning the latest events and enlisting him on his side.
		In the Soviet period, Islam was particularly targeted by the Communists because it was considered “backward” and “reactionary” and, most of all, capable of creating nationalist and religious resistance to Communist rule (Rashid 38).

	Why are we in Uzbekistan? - By Fred Kaplan - Slate Magazine
		Karimov supplied the CIA and the Pentagon with an air base, which served as the staging area for the invasion of neighboring Afghanistan.
		Meanwhile, Karimov's crackdown last week on anti-government demonstrators—in which his police fired into crowds and killed well over 100 unarmed people, several of them women and children—is the latest sign that this is a regime unworthy of American support or friendship.
		Karimov rules by the same fear, and not without reason; not long ago, he was nearly assassinated by Islamist radicals.

		The crackdown marks the latest escalation in the repressive rule of President Islam Karimov, who--despite longstanding criticisms of his human rights record--has positioned himself as a U.S. ally in the global war on terror.
		It is a mistake to perceive Islam in Uzbekistan as “state-managed,” although religious groups are required to be registered by the state.
		Karimov is also more keenly aware of the electoral base than generally perceived, as evidenced by a recent switch in party loyalty.

		Karimov took that opportunity to hold another referendum to prolong his presidential term from five to seven years, effectively keeping himself in power until 2007.
		To be on the safe side in 1995, Karimov extended his own term until 2000 in a phony "referendum," after which he safely ran with no significant opposition.
		With a sense of irony worthy of Stalin, Karimov has publicly accused journalists of being overly uncritical and afraid to raise issues, to give the impression that the state does not meddle with media.
