Re: All things Middle East related
when japan and germany were beaten, the nations were very homogeneous. germany had differing groups between ww1 and 2, but afterwards that, um, wasn't the case. you didn't have the shia/sunni/kurd/yazidi/etc divides, and you also didn't have 42 different tribes and organizations with 42 different agendas operating in the same regional space.
our military presence doesn't change that, and when we leave, barring some miracle, those divisions will become immediate flash points for continued problems. that's what happens when your country is given artificial borders. |
