I described my comment as “revisionist” with a grin, Charles. It’s not really revisionist. It’s just that the making of the modern Middle East cannot be fully described as imperialist colony-grabbing. As I wrote, that was part of it, at least for one country–the facts speak for themselves. But there were forces tugging at all participants, and more at stake than just the spoils of war.

The NYT assumed the role of revisionist historian with their 1619 series and this sort of distorted analysis. Thank you, Richard.
