No Stevelyn is correct....the indiscriminate, unthoughtful drawing of lines on maps during the height of the British Empire, without any regard for tribal alliances, religions, geography or tradition is responsible for 300 years of strife. The rapacious appetite for wealth of the British East India Co, Hudsons Bay Co and the largest drug dealers in history, the British Opium traders is undeniable.
We Yanks and our love for endless wars do not have clean hands, not by a damn sight, but it pales in comparison to 300 years of British blunders, for which we are still paying for in China and the middle east.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
