This Cairo meeting didn’t create real countries. It merely drew lines on a map. Ever since the Middle East, released from the sway of the Ottoman Turks after World War I, has been a hotbed of dissension. Arabs felt betrayed by Churchill, betrayed by England, later betrayed by America who was always doomed to inherit whatever international mess the British Empire created.
Instead the Mufti of Jerusalem and other Arab zealot and patriots turned to the Germans. They supported the Nazis and HitlerCol during World War II. It is interesting how even now Germany does not join England and France in fighting Colonel Gadhafi.
