The only reason lots of countries have the borders they do is because of colonial/imperial powers. So what? What gives 4,000 members of the Kuwait royal family the right to Kuwait's vast natural resources when they should be shares equally among 24 million Iraqis. And what gives 6000 members the Saudi royal family the right to its vast natural resources when it could be used by 300 million Americans or over a billion Chinese. Should we invade? The borders could have been set differently in the Middle East but they where not. If any country that could have possibly been given some territory has a right to use force to take it, and is prepared to exercise that "right", be prepared for a lot of wars.
