Lay off the drugs, see a psychoanalyst, read some relevant sources like The New Great Game: Blood and Oil In Central Asia by Lutz Kleveman and get back to us in a few years when you've regained your senses.

Oh good. Then I will know as much as you Dave, thanks...
Actually, I apologize for my impetuous remarks directed toward you. I was annoyed because I put forth a serious analysis of these latest developments based on my own research in studying the geopolitical issues and you simply told me (and HO, others) that we were CRAZY. In fact, our knowledge is incomplete--no one knows everything. If you've got something constructive to say, then say it.
