A convoy of buses carrying opposition activists left the southern Kyrgyz city of Osh for the capital Tuesday

Here’s a key point

The Kyrgyz opposition, which controls the airport in Osh, Kyrgyzstan’s largest southern city, allowed two flights carrying schoolchildren to a national competition to depart for Bishkek Tuesday.

When the insurgents control airports and are busing activists to the capital, and the government is not attacking back, well, then that government is weak, enfeebled, and about to collapse.

The sounds of silence coming from DC, not a peep about calling for fair elections in Kyrgyzstan, speaks volumes, don’t they? The Bushies only call for fair elections when their puppets appear to be ones who might win.

As I write this, the lead stories on Google News are the machinations of the Shiavo court battles and the teen shooter who may have been a neo-Nazi. And oh yes, more on Michael Jackson acting oddly, as if this is news. Few of the Schiavo stories have any depth or try to understand why this has become such a firestorm. And does yet another mass murderer who kills himself need to be a lead story nationwide? Ditto for the court antics of a faded mentally ill pop star.
