thereis an element in our govt. not fully in power that thinks the "Great Game" is and should be essential policy for America and teh West to play. That means using Muslim insurgency movements as a wedge to break them away from China and Russia and thus create a weak zone of local control that will allow outside/Western control of energy resources/energy routes leading out of these areas.

The 90s showed a clear sign of this with Muslim liberation wars being fought from the Balkans all the way to China along the so called Muslim or Green belt which also coincides with areas where you have important energy resources/energy routes.

Most of these types are neocons but that is not always the case.

Most of these types are neocons but that is not always the case.

I think that it is about half-and-half neocon and "Third Way" (i.e., clinton, Blair, Schroeder, Soros, Holbrooke, Halfbright, etc.).

Both nominal "conservatives" and nominal "liberals"--both of of the "neo" variety--play the "Great Game"!!
