Well written. I'd just add that you also must go back to what happend
the few years directly after the WW-I when GB and France (mainly)
put a map on the table, took a ruler and a pencil and created
what we now know as the countries in the Middle East. In many
cases purely constructs to match the needs of western coutries
trade and economics, such as Kuwait to let the GB keep the
controle of oil export from the region. Should logicaly have
been part of Iraq, of course, if it hadn't been for the oil.
Sadaam had a point there, but his solution wasn't that good...

Syria was also a creation of this post WW-I caos and issues
as we see today was probably just a matter of time away.

The simplistic view that some here expresses doesn't help a bit, of
course. I do not have any solution either, but correctly understanding
the historical background can help some.
