I think it was b_b who pointed out that the British Empire knew exactly what they were doing when they slammed 6 warring mountain tribes into one country and called it PAKiSTAN (Punjab, Azad Jammu, Kashmir, Sind-...istan). His point was it would always be an internecine pigfuck and the players of The Great Game wouldn't have to worry about them accomplishing anything resembling self-determination. Saudi Arabia we sell things to. Turkey is closer. But there would be a kerfuffle if we started running missions into Turkey like we owned it.
