Central Asian Dominoes of Doom!

"Apparently every country anywhere near Afghanistan is gonna get it, and get it bad. Who’s doing the hyping today? Of course, it’s PBS. Wait, what? PBS? Yes, PBS. It published an article the other day that includes the phrase “arc of conflict,” which I just adore. Although I am somewhat perturbed that conflicts and scary areas are always non-linear (i.e., the “Shi’a Crescent”). When will conflicts appear alongside straight lines? Anyways, google “arc of conflict™” for a laugh.

And speaking of clichéd phrases, the article even has a heading titled “A New Domino Theory.” This caused me to immediately vomit the breakfast cereal I had for dinner. But I think I’m OK now."
