i know, and that is why i am pointing to some tell-tale truth as seen from my side of the pond, that
- the great game is not over, and shall get bigger than ever (central asia, iran, afghanistan, all tee-up, and pakistan, turkey, india, and burma soon to be tee-ed up)
good thing that tibet is the ultimate 'high-ground' ;0)
- the smaller game within the great game is big enough google.com and that be water ... precious water
- barbarian invasion of china is getting to be over, especially with liberation of freedom hong kong from britain and saving of liberty macau from portugal, but, alas, there remains certain outstanding issues ... admitted or overlooked for the mo, diaoyu islands, maritime siberia, odds and ends
and so of course i can see what you mean, and am not philosophically opposed to what you stand for, but ... there are practicalities
have a good night, cheers, jay |
