Learn some history. The entire Middle East and Africa were "created" in the 20th century.

And you don't know about what the hell you're talking. Just because you were born in the 20th century doesn't mean everything started then.


Yeah, OK, so a genie didn't create the Middle East during Teddy Roosevelt's presidency!

What I meant was that the current country borders of the Middle East and Africa were drawn up in the 20th century. Your comment (supporting your idea that Iraqis have no sense of nationalism) was

The original boundaries of Iraq are not the current boundaries. Those were artificially created by the Brits. in 1920.

If you believe Iraqis have no sense of nationalism just because the Brits created the current borders in the 1920's, then you've gotta believe that no Middle Eastern country has a sense of nationalism for a similar reason, and you'd be wrong.

That's my point!
