THERE GOES MY SUMMER VACATION...!
THIS AREA...THE "-STANS"....ARE A MIXTURE OF MONGOL, TURKIC, CHINESE, PERSIAN, ARAB AND CAUCASIAN RACES AND CULTURES...THAT ARE SELDOM DISCUSSED IN THE WEST...
THE BENEFIT OF COMMUNISM IN THESE AREAS...AS WITH THE BALKANS...WAS THAT IT PROVIDED A MODERN UNIFIED DOGMA...THAT COULD REPLACE THE OLD FOLK CULTURES AND PREJUDICES ...
THE ONLY THING LEFT THAT CAN DO THE JOB THAT COMMUNISM DID SO WELL FOR DECADES IN THESE RACIALLY TROUBLE AREAS ...IS AMERICAN POP CULTURE!!
SEND MADONNA...NOT THE MILITARY...!
