Why Is The United States Ignoring Human Rights Violations In Kazakhstan?
Busloads of riot police with bulldozers demolished eleven homes owned by Hindus in Almaty, leaving multiple families homeless in freezing temperatures and winter snow. “I have no words to describe what I have seen,” said Ninel Fokina, head of the Almaty Helsinki Committee, an international human rights organization, monitoring the police action. “They have no right to put people out of their homes in winter.”
Forum 18, a religious rights watchdog group, has documented a long history of intolerance towards religious minorities in Kazakhstan. South Korean Pastor Kim U. Sob, who led a Presbyterian church in the country for eight years, was expelled for “missionary activity without registration.” Even members of minority Muslim groups, like the international Tabligh Jama’at, are regularly fined for giving lectures in mosques.
Why is the United States silent? Why do we not join the world-wide condemnation of this human rights violation?

Just exactly what do we have to do with Kazakhstan ? Any time some nation needs anything they wonder why America isn’t there with whatever they need. Then they, and the rest of the world condemn us for being there.
You could ask. What is Kazakhatan doing about the poverty in Bangladesh ?

Why is it that everyone expects the US to intervene, and then complain when we do?
