Kissinger: Great Things Cannot be Achieved Without Some Sacrifice of the Present for the Needs of the Future http://t.co/ij5KoMQY28

In that speech Kissinger stated:
We have in the Middle East today four countries whose governments are not able to control the territory defined by international law. [That] would be Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. In those conditions non-state organizations appear that can reach beyond their geographic locality, but that are not governed by any principle of international law. In fact, many of them pride themselves on a flagrant violation of what the world considers international law. What makes it even more complex is that there are countries that act both as state and as non-state actors. On the one hand, they claim the participation in the United Nations, the attributes of sovereignty, and the general principles of international conduct. On the other, they support non-state organizations that undermine these principles in the various countries.
Libya? Syria? Iraq?
Weren't those nations named to General Wesley Clark as targets for war and regime change shortly after 9/11, even though none of them were involved in 9/11?
And Yemen?
Ah, yes.
Yemen.
Yemen is being bombed by head-chopping Saudi Arabia, who coincidentally supplied the patsies for 9/11, agreed with the USA and Israel to unleash the worst Jihadis on the planet onto Syria, Lebanon and Iran, and have been sponsoring those Jihadis ever since.
So although Kissinger names these troubled nations explicitly, he does not explain HOW those nations came to be in such an ungovernable state, but he does hint that he knows WHO is behind it.
And it looks like the plan is to redraw borders:
And then, so, the challenge is how one can distill a country of borders out of this complexity. And, of course, the Middle East is not the only unsettled area in the world. The emergence of China, of India, will change the distribution of power in reflecting about international order. So that is a big challenge of our time.
