The Arabs have 22 countries. What do they need a 23rd for?

Surely, you are jesting.

I believe it is a valid question Zonder.. Nadine accurately stated that Jordan is 75-80% "palestinian" and ruled by a Hashemite Arab (with a Palestinian queen.

And I believe it is important to ask this question since it brings to the surface exactly what kind of country are we going to arbitrarily bring into existence.

And if we do this, what are the ramifications for every other nation with a dissident minority population willing to blow up civilians with suicide bombings??

And it's a question worth asking since every other Arab nation was arbitrarily created after the fall of the Ottoman Turks.
