Nice to hear a different perspective on things. Your post gives me the southern strategy to Pepe Escobar's Central Asian chronicling of the "Great Game". By the way, the motivations you impute to the US elite is spot on; I've read a lot of analysis on them from ex-intel folks speaking out against their genocidal ways to know that such statements ring true. Thanks Dr Nafeez.
