Perhaps the best place to begin discussing such a position would be to assume that the reader either disagrees or is unaware of just how critical this area of the world is to US national interests.
Currently this area is the linchpin of world affairs. In fact almost everywhere you look in the region you will see conflict, business interests and a world game being played out by superpowers, regional powers and the newly developing superpowers.
For purposes of this blog I will place the central asian zone in an area extending essential from Sinkiang-Uigur Westwards to the Caspian/Black Sea basins, and from Kazakhstan south to Thar Indo Gangetic Plains.
Its a huge area, diverse in just about anything you care to measure from rainfall to language, altitude to religion. Its a vast subject and will take extensive time to discuss. I hope we will learn something from it along the way. I can only hope that others will give guidance when they find some facts or perspective missing.
Thanks for reading
