Questions for Larry Diamond

I hope that comments will be of some use and look forward to read the answers.
1) How accurate is Your perception of zero-sum game (stability vs. the potential economic and political liberty) in relation to the events taking place in Uzbekistan. By upholding this zero-sum game point of view are not You agreeing with the false perception that dictator Karimov is trying to set up for the western observers, NGOs and governments. Don’t You think that instead of agreeing with the Karimov that he is maintaining fundamentalist islamists in Uzbekistan by massacring people in Andijon and torturing to death the accused in penitentiary system and by doing so doing a huge service to uphold values of secular state and democracy, You should continue the pressure on the government of Karimov by insisting that Western governments including US and EU keep tougher positions when it comes to the adherence to International Law on Civil and Political Rights in Uzbekistan and pressuring them to take concrete action against Karimov and his government and even the freezing of bank accounts of Karimov and his ministers as well as referring the case to UN Security Council.
When You put forward the notion of zero-sum game, stability vs. economic and political liberty are You questioning the results of recent changes in Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan? Would You choose to live in a state with corrupt government, the government which does not value the principles of democratic society, unalienable individual human rights, makes amendments to the Constitution of the Republic so often that citizens wonder is this the latest version of the constitution, mired in corruption disguised in stability or live under 2-3 years of unstable years of political and economic development in a state with the government committed to values of democratic society and checks and balances in the government as well as fundamental right of freedom of expression.
2) Don’t You think that in order for local NGO’s to work, in particular Human rights activists as well as independent journalists to effectively do their jobs not only financial aid is required, which is evidenced by the situation on the ground, that they no longer need substantive amounts of financial support, but to hold the Karimov into account, personally responsible when he orders them to be pout into jail or psychiatric clinics where they are as a result of “fight with inmates” certainly will end up dieing or forced to flee? Don’t You think that this action would give them a self-confidence that they are protected, they can rely on US, EU or UN Security Council, and their and their family’s disappearance will be noted and severely punished by world community? And only after this the gradual pressure ascertained by each activist and journalist will reach into a certain stage when they will be able to establish a force to reckon with?
3) What are the essential, fundamental institutions required to achieve a state, which is based on performing representative democracy? Analysing the situation in Uzbekistan, where almost all fundamental institutions do exist but do not work as they should, what mechanisms should there be to avoid the repeat of this condition in the future? Can You seriously think of and propose actions on how to break the system established on fear?
4) How the question of achieving democratic society in Uzbekistan could be resolved in the frame work of Integration of Central Asian states plus Russia, i.e. what do You think about the possibility of establishing regional human rights protection system taking into account the presence of Russia with the Putin’s government as well as China?
