One way to think about it: who would you rather see in charge of Mecca and the oil fields, the Saudis or the Turks? Who is a better friend to the U.S. in Europe, the French or the Germans?

I saw the movie, Lawrence of Arabia recently, and I cannot just bring myself to support the Arabs because I know what happens a hundred years after the Great War.
Europe would have been better off if Germany won the war, probably, IMHO.
