The middle east was the product of the failure of ottoman civilization to modernize on european or Chinese lines, and therefore it was possible for the western powers to colonize it.

When we withdrew colonies from the world, we sent them into tragic wars to fill power vacuums.

The USA stabilized the middle east for two reasons: to prevent the spread of communism and the use of oil as a weapon of communism; and consequently to prevent the use of oil as a strategic economic weapon – as Russia has just demonstrated is so simple to do.

It is not logical to continue to prevent the restructuring of the middle east along national (cultural and genetic) lines. Oil is no longer an issue for us, and the rest of the world no longer lacks the technological basis for suppressing expansionary empires.

Any nation that possesses nuclear weapons can maintain its territorial integrity.

Our problem is in re-nationalizing states. Not just in the middle east BUT HERE IN THE WEST AND IN AMERICA MOST OF ALL.
