SPENGLER: A Syrian Ghost Story: Lessons from Cardinal Richelieu
The sketch reposted below first appeared in Asia Times in February 2012. In it, the ghost of Cardinal Richelieu explains balance of power and disequilibrium in the ethnic-patchwork states of the Middle East. I am informed via Ouija board that the Cardinal's analysis and recommendations remain the same.
