There are people who control spacious territories teeming with manifest and hidden resources. They dominate the intersections of world routes. Their lands were the cradle of human civilizations and religions.
These people have one faith, one language, one history and the same aspirations.
No natural barriers can isolate these people from one another... if per chance, this nation were to be unified into one state, it would then take the fate of the world into its hands and would separate Europe from the rest of the world.
Taking these considerations seriously, a foreign body should be planted in the heart of this nation to prevent the convergence of its wings in such a way that it could exhaust its powers in never-ending wars. It could also serve as a springboard for the West to gain its coveted objects.

Sounds like a wise man  |
So you're defending death and destruction for profit, as long as the death and destruction befalls "them"? It is your prerogative to think so, but you can hardly take the moral high ground if you do. |
I just think you cant treat democracies and dictatorships with the same rules. When they decide to end the dark ages and start to live like civilized people we can treat them like one.
