Wonderful reply. I don't know who Dr Frank is but I'm beginning to become a fan of yours.

Please tell the gasbag (Alberta's something) that at the end of WW1 the partitioning of the Mideast was mostly the doing of the British and French. One of the things we did wrong then was in walking away and letting them basically oversee the "reconstruction" of the area. What a mistake.

Lets hope this reconstruction isn't done as badly as the first attempt.

Good point. We showed what a good job we can do when we let the Russians "partition" Eastern Europe.
