Long memories vs. admitting ‘I know nothing’

Turkey and the Caucasus and that part of the world.

“One of the many reasons America has no business mucking around in that part of the world is we know pretty much nothing about that part of the world. On the other hand, the people in that part of the world know everything about that part of the world. History for them is a nightmare from which they can never awake. All sides have old scores they would like to settle for no reason other than that’s who they are and that is what they do.” – ‘Ruminations on the Great Game’
