RESPECT: 16000 Kurdish WOMEN stayed behind to fight ISIS, While millions of fighting age Syrian/Iraqi men fled to EU
Sykes-Picot was definitely a complete con job by the Anglo-French.
The eradication of those artificial creations may just stabilize the area at least more than where it is now.
Let the Kurds have their way ...
the gope neoleft and saudis don’t care about “imperialism.” the’re not the old school commie left.

It always helps to know the 'players'.....The Sykes–Picot Agreement /ˈsaɪks pi.ko/, officially known as the Asia Minor Agreement, was a secret agreement between the United Kingdom and France,[1] with the assent of the Russian Empire. The agreement defined their proposed spheres of influence and control in Southwestern Asia. The agreement was based on the premise that the Triple Entente succeed in defeating the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The negotiation of the treaty occurred between November 1915 and March 1916 [2] and was signed on 16 May 1916.[3] The deal was exposed to the public in Izvestia and Pravda on 23 November 1917 and in the British Guardian on November 26, 1917.[4][5]....and thus begins another chapter in the history of what possibly ails the world.....some of it anyway.
Interesting insights, but how do you stabilize a part of the world that has know nothing but instability for all recorded history and even before?
The U.S. Senate did not approve the Treaty of Versailles, the League of Nations or the partition of the Ottoman Empire.
According to the principles expressed in the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the U.N. Universal Declaration of Human Rights, government is to be based on the consent of the governed. Practical considerations limit the application of the principle of consent of the government. But, an identifiable people in an identifiable place would seem to qualify, especially in the face of a failure of the established government to safeguard to those people their peace and human rights.
The U.S. should be willing to consider the formation of a democratic Kurdish Republic spanning the northern tier of present day Iraq and Syria. As for Sunni-eastern Syria and Sunni-western Iraq, a new democratic Sunni Arab Republic might be recognized if the Sunni Arabs could get their act together and, with our support in terms of air power and such, kick the sh*t out of ISIS. But, they, not us, have to do the job.
Syria and Iraq have failed to defend the people of those places. In the case of Iraq, the corrupt Shia have betrayed us as well as the Sunnis of western Iraq. In the case of Syria, Assad is more than corrupt, but is evil.
No more muslim countries. If you want some new countries in the Middle east, make some for the Copts, Iraqi and Syrian Christians. You know, the people that were there before the muslim plague came.
