In drawing the boundaries of what would become today's Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Syria, and Lebanon, they paid little attention to the ancient tribal, ethnic, and religious differences that are at the root of much of the bloodshed in the region 90 years later. The result, according to historian David Fromkin, was the creation of a group of neighboring "countries that have not become nations even today."
