But the rest goes to the foreign investor who thinks Persia is the name of a rug.  Unfortunately, Persia seems to be one of those countries which will always be poor and badly administered. Its geographical location is very little of a blessing and very much of a curse. It is a desert, but when a desert is situated on the main road, which in turn is part of a land bridge connecting two of the most important parts of the world,then that desert will forever be a battlefield and a bone of contention between opposing interests. And what I have just said of Persia holds true of this entire western part of Asia.   ……
