The New 'Great Game'

The article discusses U.S. involvement in central asia and comments on the geo-political issues surrounding providing oil to world markets. I found the article more nuanced than most on the discussion of the interaction between U.S. military actions and the oil industry. An interesting stream of thought that democracy is the way to defeat terror and that in propping up dictators for stability the U.S. is creating the conditions that contribute to ongoing resentment and anti-americanism.
