It is too bad the Arabs refused to accept the original British mandate in 1948, which would have given the Palestinians control of 45% of the mandate. And Israels 55% included the Negev dessert. While Israel agreed to the original partition, the Arab states didn't, thus starting a 50+ yrs of hostilities.

How were the relative chunks of land determined in the original partition? Was there NEVER a consensus between the Arabs & the Jews?

If and when Saddam is ousted, and a democratic gov is established

Assuming we oust Saddam, is it likely that a democratic government will be accepted in Iraq?
