Madeleine Albright Says It


    

    From "Is the World A Mess?" on VOA News.

She said two “huge game changers” have affected recent events.  One is the behavior of RussianPresident Vladimir Putin toward Ukraine.  The other is what has been happening in the Middle Eaststarting with the political unrest known as the Arab SpringShe also noted what she called “the artificiality of the borders that were established after World War I.”
(emphasis mine).

It's nice, for me, to hear people acknowledge that this is a problem. Mostly I hear only about the value of territorial integrity.
