To Resolve Conflicts, Excessive Ambitions And One's Own Fears And Aspirationis Must Be Sacrificed.

The Mistakes Of The Iraq War Are Not Only Tactical And Strategic, But Historical. It Is Essentially A War Of Colonialism, Attempted In The Post-colonial Age.

Moreover, They [the Central Asian Republics] Are Of Importance From The Standpoint Of Security And Historical Ambitions To At Least Three Of Their Most Immediate And More Powerful Neighbors, Namely Russia, Turkey And Iran, With China Also Signaling An Increasing Political Interest In The Region. But The Eurasian Balkans Are Infinitely More Important As A Potential Economic Prize: An Enormous Concentration Of Natural Gas And Oil Reserves Is Located In The Region, In Addition To Important Minerals, Including Gold.
