WE MAY BE SEEING THE RESULT OF THE STALINIST "RELOCATION" PROGRAMS OF THE 50s AND 60s...
THE STANS WERE A STALINIST DUMPING GROUND FOR DISSENTERS IN THE SOVIET UNION ...MUCH LIKE SIBERIA WHICH IS BETTER KNOWN....
MOST OF THESE "STAN" NATIONS ARE EITHER TURKIC, MONGOL OR PERSIAN...WITH SOME RUSSIAN, CHINESE AND ARAB MIXED IN...
THE PROBLEM IS THE LACK OF AN OVERRIDING DOGMA TO BREAK THE PEOPLE AWAY FROM THEIR OLD VILLAGE HATREDS...
LIKE THE BALKANS...THE "STANS" ARE MOUNTAINOUS, REMOTE AND MOSTLY RURAL...WHICH CAUSES VERY NARROW THINKING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE...NOT UNLIKE THE TEA PARTY CROWD IN AMERICA.
REMEMBER POLITICS FOR STUPID PEOPLE IS UNIVERSAL.
