Confession

[slowsculpture]

I have the same problem with the present Kyrgese/Uzbek conflict that I had with the Tutsi and Hutu fighting; I know, intellectually, that there are deplorable violations of people's basic human rights going on, but when I hear the words, I can only visualize those people as Dr. Seuss characters.

Disadvantaged ethnic groups need less funny names. Can we fit that on a protest sign?
