hmm, where does the term Middle east come from? What is the history to it. well the term was created in the west just over 200 years ago as a security concept, for the protection of British interests in India at the time, and has continued in that role ever since. As a region, it exists mostly in the minds of western strategic planners. It seems rather ironic that a term would be invented that addresses a whole group of Islamic countries with intentions of exploitation of trade from 2 centuries ago.
they didn't fuck it up, and going there made it worse then it was before.
