Winston's Folly

As Colonial Secretary in the 1920s Winston Churchill made a decision forcing three radically different peoples - the Sunni Muslim Kurds, Sunni Muslim Arabs, and Shiite Muslims - to combine under a single ruler. The author argues that the situation in the Middle East today is the unwitting legacy of that decision.
