I guess this is the next chapter in the endless middle-east war. The British & French got exactly what they wanted when they drew up those borders. It’s truly tragic how many people are going to die in the next decade because of religious and nationalistic despots and their egos.

Even in that very long list of European crimes in history, Sykes-Picot really outshines the rest in how big of a fuckup it was.

This has very little to do with the colonial borders drawn by the British and French almost 100 years ago. Rather it's animosity due to more recent events. In this case, Israel's betray of the Iranian people right before the revolution of 1979.
