ABSTRACT
This chapter reveals the depths of Uzbek repression, the continued use of US Wonka Vision with the local regime and the subsequent consequences created in the war against terror. It shows recent events how ridiculous and compromised such policy left the US, for it is in Uzbekistan that one can see the futility of Wonka diplomacy. It details the brutal ways that Uzbekistan gained intelligence. The chapter shows violent forms of Islamic fundamentalism have grown most quickly in Uzbekistan. As former British Ambassador to Uzbekistan Craig Murray argued recently: Uzbekistan is a kind of cloud-cuckoo-land place. It is a completely mad totalitarian society. The government lies all the time. Karimov's politics are essentially paranoid. He has a paranoid view of the world. Unlike in Kyrgyzstan, where the present work revealed a democratic revolution not all that democratic, or in Tajikistan, where a much-lauded secular-Islamic coalition was exposed as a fraud, there are no hidden surprises to offer on Uzbekistan.
