		<description>"AP - As of March 14, the US DoD has announced in a closed door session that US Forces will begin a drawdown in June of '08 and achieve a 100% withdrawal  from Manas Air Base, Kyrgyzstan, no later than September 30, '08. " 

My question is  "Who will provide for the people that 'had' jobs on the base?"</description>

		<description>"Good sides:
2) Our government receives good money;
3) Military spend money here, so there is good income for our cafes, restaurants and other;"

I don't know if that are 'good sides' in the end. Given the nature of the Kyrgyz governement, and given the fact that most cafés, nightclubs, restos, ... that the Crusader occupiers patronise are in the hands of certain (often regime-connected) mafias, I would say that in practice, 'good sides' 2. and 3. come down to 'feed massive corruption in the country'. 

"Good sides:
4) Cultural exchange"

Yes indeed: drugs, prostitution, Protestant sects and their slave ideology (to which Kyrgyzstani who work at the base have to convert first, BTW).

"3) Most American military guys are having fun with our girls and leave them, at the same time our girls dream to marry them. Of course some girls also date with Americans cos’ they want to go to US or cos’ of money, but not all."

:) LOL First, I have serious doubts about the second sentence esp. since Kyr has basically become a meat market. And if these girls are so naive and  stupid...

"4) It’s sad to realize that USA and Russia are interested in the territory of our country and do everything to get a leading role in KG."

But Asel, what had you imagined then? That the US and Russia are really there to 'help' and 'protect' Kyrgyzstan against evil terrorists? In reality, they spit on you.</description>

		<description>There are good sides and bad sides of having US base in Kyrgyzstan.

Good sides: 
1) Many Kyrgyz citizens have jobs at the base and have better salaries comparing with local companies;
2) Our government receives good money;
3) Military spend money here, so there is good income for our cafes, restaurants and other;
4) Cultural exchange

Bad sides:
1) There is pollution from military plains that throw fuel to KG territory; it leads to no harvest, people diseases and etc.

2) One American killed a Kyrgyz citizen (Russian) and left the country without punishment just paying 50000 USD.

3) Most American military guys are having fun with our girls and leave them, at the same time our girls dream to marry them. Of course some girls also date with Americans cos’ they want to go to US or cos’ of money, but not all.

4) It’s sad to realize that USA and Russia are interested in the territory of our country and do everything to get a leading role in KG.</description>

		<description>Agree. It's again one of these little myrk hames to get more money, evoking 'patriotism' and 'independence' when it suits them.</description>

		<description>The president Bakiev wants more money that is all.
the base will never removed from its place. At worst it will be transformed into a medical hospital or a recreation center. Bakiev can not do anything with Americans. Over and above too many kyrgyz people work there.</description>
