That's eerie, I just finished reading that article not 2 minutes ago.

The presentation is phenomenal. It really nicely integrates short looped video, still photographs, and stellar writing. I knew nothing about the region or its politics before I started reading, and now feel much more informed than I did an hour ago.

Usually in order to read any dense geopolitical analysis I need a vested interest; apparently, flashy graphics will work in a pinch.
