Is that what 'we' did Mary? 

Is that what England did after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, when it created Iraq with borders that deliberately included ethnic groups known to be mutually hostile toward each other in the expectation they would never unite against British oil interests because they were constantly at each other's throats? 

Was that what England was doing when she imposed a Sunni kind upon a majority Shia Iraq, and when in 1920 the ungrateful locals revolted she sent the RAF to remind them who was boss with the first aerial bombing since The Great War?

Was that what the victors of WW2 did using a new and naive UN when they imposed Israel upon the Palestinian Arabs?  

Was that what America was doing when they installed the Shah of Iran, who then installed his vicious secret police? 

Were those the good old days when the locals were so happy and harmless? Who where the bleeding hearts that wrecked this Paradise, and when?
