Palmerston? Oh well, right church wrong pew. :o} Actually this conflict is as old as the hills. Ultimately the Gordian Knot must be cut. But the West isn't ready for that yet. Imo it's coming though. With that, I will fade into obscurity.

Palmerston was secretary of the Foreign Office during what the brits call the The First Afghan War ... so quite applicable .... here's a bit from google - 'In 1838 Palmerston commenced a war against Dost Mohammed, the ruler of Cabul, a war that led to the destruction of an English army, and was commenced on the plea of Dost Mohammed having entered into a secret alliance against England with Persia and Russia....' csf.colorado.edu ... from an article in the New York Daily Tribune written by, guess who, Karl Marx - csf.colorado.edu
