The Brits are the biggest hypocrites in the world. in the 1800s they fought the Crimean war against the Russians and WITH the Slamic Turks to prevent Russia, a Christian country, from conquering Istanbul and restoring it to Christendom. If the English hadn't propped up the Turks the GReeks would have been free a lot earlier, the Russians would have restored Constantinople as a center of christendom and communism may never have occureed (going out on the limb on that one).

Next, the British had the mandate of Israel and didn't really do much to help the formation of the Jewish state. Instead the Jews had to launch an armed rebellion to kick them out.

The Brits were also the ones who created Iraq out of 3 distinct provinces of the Ottoman Empire, laying the seeds of future troubles and they were also the ones who created the firstIslmaic state-- Pak'istan (which lead to the creation of the theocratic states of Iran and Taliban Afgh)
