This current political instability in the Mid East is largely the result of the activities of Britain and "Lawrence of Arabia" (of all people). After World War I, control of the Mid East was taken from Turkey and given to Britain. After the discovery of petroleum in 1926 by British corporations, Britain convinced Lawrence of Arabia to invite all the political leaders and tribal chieftains to a conference to agree to the division of the Mid East into the countries we know today (Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Kuwait, Palestine, Syria) At the time Baghdad was the richest city and Iraq was the wealthiest territory. Kuwait was a world class shipping port that traditionally belonged to Baghdad and Iraq. The map Britain drew of the modern countries we now know today was created by drawing national boarders through the middle of existing population groups. Kuwait was taken away from Iraq and made a Nation. All the other countries had the populations divided between natural enemies. The Kurds and the Armenians were denied a nation state, despite being ancient cultures with a language and history. THIS WAS DONE INTENTIONALLY -- TO PERMANENTLY DESTABILIZE THE MID EAST, so the British and America petroleum corporations would have an easier time extracting the petroleum from corrupt and unstable military dictatorships, feudal fiefdoms and chaotic republics. THIS WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT.
