The dream of a few large states replacing the numerous states currently n the Mideast has been a dream of jihadists and past dictators in this region in bids of extended power and rule for their families. I listened to Dan Carlin's podcast the other day and this is indeed what he said would be a simple solution to the MidEast crisis over the years as a united Arab state would have a stronger central control of the region and help bring these societies out of medieval tribalism. Carlin figures that one large Arab Sunni state and one large Shitte state would solve the problems in this prodigious foreign policy question of the last hundred years.
He went on to explain about the Ottomon Empire and so forth in controlling these people although access to explosives was something the Turks never had to worry about with Arabs. Incredibly, Dan Carlin described Europe's various wars through the ages and this just contradicted his vision of fewer Arab states being the solution as Europe is filled with a wide range of diverse cultural states never going to be unified despite many attempts by the economic warlords. A large Arab state would be powerful and threaten out the very creation of a Jewish state to please these economic financial warlords that control all aspect of Western banking and finance. The problem with the Middle East is that their countries were in enter by colonial masters who had little interest in dividing up these places with common sense and indeed purposely put the wrong people together to create internal instability that they could exploit. These lands need to be left alone and have ISIS and other groups form their own governments and nations where the local people see to it as best defined and not outside business forces that seek to have markets and bases protecting their capitalist ventures.
