In addition, your analysis is also flawed because you don't understand where the actual nations originated.

In a drawing room in Great Britan? Duh. And the lines have had time (a generation, at least) to solidify.

My analysis is NOT flawed in the point of a nation, regardless of the accident of it's birth, has the right to defend itself against naked aggression. Period.

if this is the case, how do define who's boundary to believe? Do you assert that a line drawn by a Brit is better than one drawn by an American?

Actually more in British controlled Egypt, India and to a lessor extent in Great Britain itself. It was mostly the overseas British that drew the modern map of the middle east in the years following WW-I. They messed up big time, that's for sure.
