What Ms. Pletka does not mention is that the present status quo was brought about by the Sykes-Picot agreement, when Britain, France and Imperial Russia, drew lines in the sand, creating Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine from the middle parts of the Ottoman Empire.
That World War I agreement set in motion every political, military and social conflict in the area, as did the world war for the entire planet.
