The Division of the Arab world map

Now regarding this map (which already is being featured in the media of the "resistance camp [although I don't know when the Syrian regime ever resisted as it qualifies to be placed in the surrender camp]" as the US plan for the future of the Arab world), it has many problems.  It says nothing about the necessary "exchange of population" needed (that is a polite word for sectarian or ethnic cleansing), and it disregards political consideration.  South Yemen joining Saudi Arabia? Does Robin know about the socialist secular tendencies of the secessionist movement there?  And who among the `Alawites ever spoke of such a sectarian vision for the community in Syria?  The same for the Druzes. So the map should be titled: if we totally disregard the facts and the political realities, things may look like this.
