I can hear my liberal friends now...."Probably never happened. Probably a fake video from the Republican party."
If it really did happen and anyone gets hurt it will still be Bush' fault. After all we shouldn't be "exporting" dangerous ideas like freedom and democracy. Just WHAT is Bush thinking??!!
Shame on the US Media.
....and where were all of the western media "kings and queens" when THIS atrocity was happening?

Excellent example of how irrelevant our media is. Also it shows what their purpose is nowadays, now that professional journalism is nothing but a better moment in history. The MSM is nothing more than a collection of far-leftist, anti-American rags and networks that can no longer focus on what is important in the world -- sadly the media has degenerated into irrelevancy. Good example.
And CNN is wondering why they are loosing shares ?
Nothing on Fox News?

Good source for central Asia.
Our MSM was focused on urine and Felt.
I would have far prefered coverage of this freedom protest.
God Bless them.
