    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.

    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.”
