Jay Shapiro Show - The Unending Tragedy of Sykes-Picot

Jay Shapiro takes you through the history of the Sykes-Picot Agreement - which reaches its 100th anniversary today - and its tragic implications for Middle East stability and peace. In May 1916, the British and French signed a secret agreement dividing up the Arab part of the Ottoman Empire. This arbitrary division created one hundred years of war and suffering. It is now defunct and the Middle East is falling into further chaos.
