I saw in the paper that Kyrgyz-Uzbek tensions have mounted again. One part of the article was particularly disturbing: a Kyrgyz mob allegedly set fire to an Uzbek orphanage, and they're doing the same to plenty of homes and businesses in Uzbek districts. I don't understand how people can have so much hatred for one another... and for what? Land? Natural resources? Things that can never truly be anyone's. And these things happen far more often than we can know on this side of the planet. Hell, these things happen here, albeit usually on a smaller scale. I wish I knew how to help... or even how to understand.
