...democracy, work and a normal life." The U.S. - which views Karimov as an ally in the war against terror and maintains a military base in Uzbekistan - expressed concern about the "terrorist group" that had broken out of Andijan prison. Few observers believe this is the end of the violence. Authoritarian regimes such as Karimov's are less susceptible to unrest, says regional analyst Andrei Grozin: "But even if the authorities are able to crush the uprising in Andijan, the next upsurge could come in a month, or a year...

...apparent hard line on Russian democracy appeared to dissolve into simply a difference in interpretation of history, Bush-watchers were left with important questions: Is the president really as serious about spreading democracy as he claims to be?

Some might say it's unrealistic, a straight-line projection that ignores the risk of unforeseeable events or friction in the relationship. How easy is it, after all, to predict the behavior of an authoritarian regime that leads 1.3 billion people?
