Why would a hodge podge of tribesmen believe in any country whose borders are drawn for the convenience of transient overlords in London and Paris 95 years ago, without regard to geography, ethnicity and religious affliation, and without any common history they can feel proud to be part of?

Saddam Hussain was making a country out of Iraq. We were but adding superficial trappings of a state on a substrate of desert tribes. Now wonder our state of Iraq caved like sand castles.
