You're right, there's bound to be more fighting before anyone goes along with it...

"...The boundaries projected in the maps accompanying this article redress the wrongs suffered by the most significant "cheated" population groups, such as the Kurds, Baluch and Arab Shia, but still fail to account adequately for Middle Eastern Christians, Bahais, Ismailis, Naqshbandis and many another numerically lesser minorities. And one haunting wrong can never be redressed with a reward of territory: the genocide perpetrated against the Armenians by the dying Ottoman Empire.

Yet, for all the injustices the borders re-imagined here leave unaddressed, without such major boundary revisions, we shall never see a more peaceful Middle East."

"we shall never see a more peaceful Middle East."

"We" = who?

Besides, I don't find it funny, even though I am not muslim. Which part you found funny?

Don't think I am being aggressive, it is just I want to understand.
