"Yes, you have created quite a mess for us," he said, not quite accurately; the mess was created 90 years ago by Europeans drawing foolish lines on a map they barely understood. Bush's feckless invasion had tossed a hand grenade into a house of cards-and now there was the stunning realization that only...
