G. Willow Wilson Quotes
What Happened?"
"Oil." The Sheikh Shook His Head. "The Great Cursed Wealth From Beneath The Ground That The Prophet Foresaw Would Destroy Us. And Statehood-what A Terrible Idea That Was, Eh? This Part Of The World Was Never Meant To Function That Way. Too Many Languages, Too Many Tribes, Too Motivated By Ideas Those High-heeled Cartographers From Paris Couldn't Understand. Don't Understand. Will Never Understand. Well, God Save Them-they're Not The Ones Who Have To Live In This Mess. They Said A Modern State Needs A Single Leader, A Secular Leader, And The Emir Was The Closest Thing We Had. So To The Emir Went All The Power. And Anyone Who Thinks That Isn't A Good Idea Is Hounded Down And Tossed In Jail, As You Have So Recently Discovered. All So That Some Pantywaist Royal Nephew Can Have A Seat At The UN And Carry A Flag In The Olympics And Be Thoroughly Ignored.
