      Strictly true ... but Linux with no apps, and for most   
      no GUI, just ain't worth doing.

      I've seen it, and not just in Europe. I may sound a bit   
      odd here, but I think 'civilizations' can get 'old and   
      senile'. Then they grow weak, confused, and soon enough   
      some outsiders take control (and make life even worse).   
      Civs/nations that still have the "eye of the tiger" are   
      on the uptick. All others become prey.   
      
      Putin re-made Russia, kind-of gave it "the eye" again.   
      Iran and other Islamics are also born again hungry.   
      
      China is the odd one out ... something about the culture.   
      It's more the snake, always slithering into affairs and   
      then squeezing. It is a predator, but quiet, stealthy,   
      selective, patient.
