>>I understand the purpose of this "Great Game" machination. What I can't figure out is why the disparate tribes of the Middle East could never quite figure out it was the Brits<<

You take them for stupid or what, Ray? We are all Alphas and they are all equal or worse Epsilons? They knew the morning after (Monday sg).

Were games played Mondays, the whole world, W&E (near, middle and far), N&S, Christian, Muslim, AC, DC, whatever and whoever - we would all be winners (sigh).

Brits and the U.S. betrayed the Kurds and Assyrians?

No no..Not exactly what I said. The Brits did after WWI. The US (and the world) let them down after Gulf I. A real difference I think. There was no deal broken I don't believe the second go... This mess really has its roots back 80 years which is why hearing Blair or Straw get on their high horses bugs me. Never a mention of how their (Brits) complicity in this mess.
