Again, now in Kyrgyzstan, the US is interfering in national affairs and creating a danger to surrounding countries, which is the whole purpose of the exercise: challenging the power of China and Russia. This has no relation at all with establishing a democracy.
Secret report of the U.S. Ambassador to Kyrgyz Republic Stephen M.Young:
"Taking into account the interests, of our presence in the region and development of democratic society in Kyrgyzstan, our primary goal - according to the earlier approved plans - is to increase pressure upon Akaev to make him resign ahead of schedule after the parliamentary elections Realizing the plan is of key importance as, we think, the present opposition is not strong enough to challenge the present authorities, though Akaev has claimed he is not going to prolong his terms of office.
We have mostly succeeded in developing contacts with another leader of the opposition - R.Otunbaeva, ex-Minister for Foreign Affairs. Through the funds allocated to her we managed to lobby setting up and promoting certain NGOs as well as organizing a unified system of mass media for better coverage over the country to spread her statement about non-interference of Russia in internal affairs of Kyrgyzstan.
We have set up and opened financing for an independent printing office - the Media Support center - and AKIpress news agency to interpret impartially the course of the elections and minimize state mass media propaganda impact. We also render financial support to promising non-governmental tele- and radio companies.
It is worthwhile compromising Akaev personally by disseminating data in the opposition mass media on his wife's involvement in financial frauds and bribery at designation of officials. We also recommend spreading rumors about her probable plans to run for the presidency, etc. All these measures will help us form an image of an absolutely incapacitated president.
To reach the target we should attract groups of independent observers from western humanitarian: organizations, OSCE, and people from Kyrgyz offices of the UN Program of Development. That is necessary: to get control of the election process and eliminate any possible financing of the pro-presidential majority in the parliament."

BlackCommentator: "We are witnessing the domestic version of a phenomenon well known in the Third World: the deliberate creation of 'failed states', national governments that have been maneuvered or coerced into impotence by the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, trade agreements with the United States - any combination of capital and military coercion. These states have become irrelevant to the needs of their own people and, therefore, in a very real sense, illegitimate. As Henry Liu explains, such states cannot deliver the goods:
'Failed states provide only substandard political goods, if any at all. Weak failed states involuntarily forfeit, and strong failed states do so voluntarily, the responsibility for delivering political goods, and leave it to non-state actors, i.e. the private sector through the market mechanism. Privatization of the public sector is more than the outsourcing of state functions. It is the selling off of state prerogatives.'"
