I don't. I blame The French and the British (Sykes–Picot Agreement) at the end of WW1, which drew borders on maps of the Near East using rulers. Those arbitrary borders are, of course, not the only cause of the enduring troubles and wars in the Levant; but they have been a major contributing factor.
