in ancient history I've been a teaching instructor of Middle Eastern politics and history at the University of Michigan, working at times with Ray Tanter PhD, former national security advisor for Middle Eastern affairs under Reagan.
Everybody I ever came in contact with then would tell you there is an "Arab Nation" - what else would make a Tunisian feel affinity an Iraqi?
Why else would there be an Arab league - that notably doesn't admit countries on a geographic basis?
Why would a Palestinian Christian have anything in common with a Syrian if such was not the case?
Why are such sharp distinctions drawn for those that live in Middle eastern society that are not parts of this Nation? e.g. Kurds, Sarcassians, Druze etc.
