I didn't see any mention in the article that these people align themselves with the US Tea Party...
Clearly a country that has had its second coup in 5 years received its roots from a bunch of people who sit around all day talking about how they want the government out of their Medicare.
How do you not see the connection here??!?
Also for those of you that haven't read the article this is one of the only reasons it's getting in the news cycle:
Quote:
The unrest, which spread across the capital, Bishkek, on Wednesday, seemed to pose a potential threat to a critical American air base supporting the NATO campaign in nearby Afghanistan. But Roza Otunbayeva, a former foreign minister who has emerged as head of a coalition of opposition groups, said Thursday that the supply line would not be immediately affected.
The difference between Kyrkazyrkakakyrzakyrza-Stan government and the US government, is that our government cannot be overthrown. Nor would I want it to. I think Tea Baggers would be far better off just running off and finding some deserted island to call their own country.

I totally agree. Barney Frank and Anderson Cooper should find a deserted island to build their utopia.
First question is how did you get Kyrgyzstanian past your spell checker? I wonder what the previous despot did to get everybody so pi**ed off. I also wonder if the oil companies have already arranged to bribe the latest "President for Life".
This is one of the places we have no business being. We do not need a billion dollar airbase in this place or its neighbors. It is past time to leave.

You sure about that?

The US government will likely not be overthrown. It will likely just dissolve into regions (like the USSR) or return to an Articles of Confederacy pre-Constitution position.
Despite Putin's denials this coup was probably backed by Russia.
Self-proclaimed Kyrgyz leader thanks Russia (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/08/AR2010040803170.html - broken link)
We backed Bakiyev, because strategically we need access to an airbase in Kyrgyzstan to supply troops in Afghanistan. Russia's got a base there as well and in addition Kyrgyzstan’s neighbor China has economic interests in the nation.
It's strategically a very important place for such a small, economically weak state. And once again it looks like we bet on the wrong dictator. It will be interesting to see how this shapes up...Bakiyev rose to power in a coup 5 years ago among remarkably similar situations.
Oh wait, are we really not discussing Kyrgyzstan and just talking about more tired tea-bagger discussion on here?
