wow just wow!!!
I never knew how complicated the middle east was...
this guy does a good explanation.
Haven't seen the video, but I have studied the history of the area... when the British and French carved up the Ottoman Empire after WW1, they didn't give a heck about which group was getting split by which border. They just took a bunch of land and carried on. When they left, the borders remained and successor governments tried to enforce their artificial integrity.
Hell it was probably designed that way. That's how the soviet's did the 'stans.
