The Hashemites were the primary drivers of how the British drew the borders. The Tranjordan is still ruled by the Hashemite and Iraq was ruled by Faisal I of Iraq (Alec Guiness) until his death in 1933. The current problems were created by our overthrow of the Baathist regime and it's amusing the way Democrats forget that they supported OIF. Blaming the Brits a century after the fact for what's happening today is taking rhetorial hyperbole to the highest level of absurdity.
