Ultimately the US gets to have a base of operations that allows them easier access to Afghanistan... but at the cost of supporting another brutal dictatorship.
It really sounds like the more things change the more they stay the same.
Considering the new policy the Rice was mouthing earlier this year (the one that said they were going to help spread democracy) it seems their departure is over due. That is unless you believe that the precense of the base was to spread democracy to Uzbekistan.
