I have learned a lot from your responses, stuff that would have taken way to long to gather and decipher through reading news posts and stories alone. I'll say this; 'Zona, Matt, Benton, Oncemoretothebreech, Pat, each of you really could easily teach classes or hold briefings on World affairs. I'll admit that I'm a bit lazy, when it comes to keeping myself educated on those topics. That is why, when I read the story that I posted in the OP, I wanted to generate some conversation, particularly from some of you that I value as "higher opinions".
As far as I can gather, the situation over there is more tangled up than a can of worms. It's really hard to tell who the "bad guys" are, as they all seem to take turns being the evil ones.
I appreciate the compliment, but in truth I just dabble in the world affairs stuff. This is why I have my broad statement compared to Benton's more detailed information. I am much more of a domestic policy guy.
