As an Arab who knows a decent amount about the region, I can say there was an incredibly brilliant analysis put forth by Simon! He mapped the region, stripping it of the orientalist approach that most Westerners use.

Interesting point about the 12 day war. Ironically nothing fails like success.

Hold on a minute … Aren’t the Brits responsible for the madness today??? “The British Empire played a major role in shaping the modern Middle East, primarily through secret treaties, conflicting promises, and arbitrary border drawing during and after World War I.”
