### Comment:
My views have changed over time. Pan Arabism under one state is unrealistic hence why it is mostly supported by Arabs in the west. Most Arabs in the Middle East will favor close cooperation but not complete unity. I agree with you though. Genetically I am probably more European than Arab but I still call myself an Arab. You just can’t ignore our distinct culture.

Almost all of our current states are unrealistic. That's why they're all falling apart. Syria doesn't have a distinct culture, it has a dozen. Perhaps the scale is different to Pan-Arabism, but that it is also fundementally nationalist ideology seems to make them the same? And imo that's largely the root of our problems. Thoughts?
