I think the new map will look a lot more like a unified Caliphate, and a lot less like a bunch of squabbling nation states engaged in tribal warfare.
Set them One Against the Other.
Muslims apparently need to be on a killing spree to fulfill their religion’s mission. Let’s help them focus their energies on each other, leaving us alone as a result.
More likely they want one big Islamic Caliphate so they won’t have to deal with more than one “leader”
Never read headlines without glasses.
I thought the headline was: Breaking the Middle East Into Feces.
Weird, I thought it already was.
something needs to be done for the Christians in the mid-east to protect them from being exterminated by the Moslems in Egypt (10 million Christians in trouble there), Lebanon (what Christians still remain there after USA and France sold them out to the Islamicists), and there are some Christians yet in Syria and so forth.
Small little states could give the Christians a chance maybe...
Whether Israel or any other nation there would then be surrounded by small (correct) “tranquil” states remains to be seen. Many Moslems do not seem capable (or desirous) of living in “tranquil” states... Indeed, this primitive sickness (or whatever) is the scourge of the world in these times. Perhaps “aggressive” small states would be a better description...
I guess I am not well read enough about this, but it never seemed to me that the ME WAS unified.
THAT’S why peacekeeping/peacemaking efforts of the world powers has always been essential to contain the many and age-old arguments there.
Of course when you have THE leader of THE most powerful national entity in the known universe ... (a power with long-standing commitment, an admirable record of responsibility, diplomatic traditions, etc.) casually abandoning their traditional role and THEN failing in the articulation of a new and different course…all the people revert to type and begin (resume) murdering one another.
“O” has created the problem and has only himself to blame.
