The Middle East is in turmoil, is falling apart. The largest country, Egypt, has no organized government and is sliding toward chaos and civil war. Lybia is re-organizing itself. Syria is already in a civil war. Iraq is divided and its central government is either imaginary or ineffective. The stable ethnic states in the region are Turkey, Israel, Iran and possibly Saudi Arabia (although its robustness have never been tried in war). If Europe gets itself organized, this region is ripe for re-colonization.

You're such a imperialist J's.
Of course, I am a Hapsburg imperialist. The Hapsburg dynasty should have annexed the Middle EAst, just as Dr Theodor Herzl proposed. But those shitheads dont accept good advice. We may have to do it ourselves.
Maybe the grass is greener on the other side but I'm beginning to think that Hapsburg Europe was a paradise. I think I'd rather live in the Lemberg of 1912 than in the L'viv of 2012.

You have good taste, K. Fin de siecle (19th siecle) Vienna was supposed to be a wonderful, cultured place.
