A great discussion about the geopolitics of central asia over the last decade in particular in Pakistan.  (PODCASTER'S NOTE: AT 4:56 JOJO TALKS ABOUT RECOGNITION OF THE DURANT LINE, THE BORDER; ACTUALLY THE AFGHAN AMIR ACKNOWLEDGED IT IN 1893.  THE PAKISTANI GOVERNMENT STILL ACKNOWLEDGES IT, BUT THE TALIBAN DOES NOT.  IT'S AN ONGOING SOURCE OF TENSION). Rainman and JoJo talk about JoJo's experiences while being stationed in Islamabad, Pakistan and just how important that area of the world has been over the last 20 years.  They go from the killing of Osama Bin Laden to current issues with contested borders.  Pakistan will continue to be very important moving into the future and will most likely impact how much influence China will have in the region.  Enjoy!
