i didn't have much time to post today. as nathan says at the argus "We seem to be in the 'whodunnit and why' phase of things." actually, nathan's post seems to be the best summary of uzbek news there is around today. if you're not totally sick of uzbekistan yet, make sure to read nathan's post and click on all of the links--which includes both news links and blogs from NGO/peace corps volunteers in uz.
all i have to add, is an email from a friend from samarkand who is stuck in tashkent, confined to the indoors, and confused as anyone as to what exactly is going on in her country.
i'm going to be at a conference in central jersey (the former stomping grounds of my mysterious neighbor who commented below, in fact) tomorrow and i'm off to arabic class in a few minutes. so i won't get a chance to rant much tomorrow earlier in the day, but i am sure i will throw some crap up onto this site fairly soon after i get back. there's nothing like an extended car ride listening to news to get me going.
