Thanks for the map
Actually, the map is rather inappropriate on its own. One major modern relevance of the concept of Greater Syria is to the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, notably its influence on early Palestinian nationalism. To show 'historic Syria' undifferentiated from Iraq gives the wrong impression, in that the real commercial and landholding historical linkages between Syria, Palestine and Lebanon are subsumed under a much wider and purely political project.

[edit] Kuwait?
Does Kuwait consider part of greater syria ??? I cant beleive it, I always hear from them that they consider themselves as part of the gulf, not greater syria. SeMiTiC
[edit] Kingdom?
Faisal I of Iraq is listed as having briefly been "King of Greater Syria" - can someone with knowledge detail the physical kingdom here? Timrollpickering 10:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
