Happened here before. No reason to think it won't happen again. Especially in these times.

Russia probably helped fire this uprising up. We all know they can't be happy about the big US air base in Kyrgyzstan that's crucial for the Afghan War. Ah well, it's their backyard. All the better if it moves us one inch closer to giving up on Afghanistan.

My rule of thumb is, if I find myself in any nation ending in "-stan", to get down on my knees and pray.

While if it ends in "-hamas", I get down on my beach towel and enjoy a mojito.
