You're right about Blackpool too, I was training some people from Blackpool yesterday on Photoshop, and they basically held the same opinion of it. Probably going to be worse this week by all acounts, as it'll be full of Russians over for some dance competition they're having next week, so I was told.

Back on the real topic, as Winston Churchill once said about the Soviet Union, 'a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma' could well be applied to the struggles in the Middle East. There are so many agendas and proxy wars going on there, that I doubt anyone could possibly know all about everything that is behind the fighting. After all, it's only the 'Middle East' to us viewing it from a distance, to the people who are actually there, it's the place where they are, and a fact of daily life. And since there are such a diverse group of people, ideas and theologies behind all the events, it's an enigma that is likely to remain undeciphered. I've been hearing about trouble in the region everyday on the news ever since I was a child, and that's a long time.
