章節(jié)摘錄

　　Today's interest however in Persia is of a more prosaic nature.The country has oil， and that is about the worst thing that could possibly happen to a nation too weak to defend its own interests.Theoretically speaking， the natives of any given place are supposed to be the chief beneficiaries of the treasures that lie hidden beneath their ancestral grave-yards. In practice it works out differently. A few of the Sultan's intimate friends in far away Teheran grow rich from granting concessions， and several thousand men and women living near the wells may find occasional employment at pretty meagre wages. 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. 　　……
