Deep and insightful...I did not realize Knopfler was a Scotsman...I appreciate your depth of history and the opportunity to open Mr. Knopfler to any number of kilt jokes! |

As Robert Plant sung "they came fron the land of the ice and snow where the midnight sun and the hot springs flow." People always remember the gore, but they forget hundreds of years of trade under the Pax Nordica after any number of vicous squbbling warlords were crushed and free trade flowed. Same can be said of the Pax Mongolica... |

This song always brings tears to a friend who served in the Special Forces (green berets) in Viet Nam. His job was to train those who had fled to the "mist covered" mountains from their "valleys and their farms" to fight the NVA who considered them to be ethnic scum.... And only now are they "returning to their valleys and their farms".....Interesting parallell with the Middle Eastern analogies.... |
