I haven't read Kaplan and thus can't respond adequately to his arguments,
but if they are roughly as Toby's posted, they seem woefully simplistic,
inadequate, and deterministic. Physical geography certainly has a distinct
impact on political and cultural geography, but it's not the whole picture.

Take Europe: we think of it as relatively stable today, but it's been
invaded and re-invaded by multitudes of peoples over the past several
thousand years. Maybe it's because I haven't read Kaplan's book, but I fail
to see how one can intelligently make the argument that Europe has somehow
been more stable than other regions, including the Middle East. Starting in
the Neolithic, much of the original population of Europe was likely
Vasconic, but with the migrations and invasions of Indo-Europeans, that
population was entirely assimilated or killed off, except for the Basques.
The Gauls were conquered, assimilated, and displaced by the Romans, and
later by the Normans, Franks, and other Germanic peoples. Indeed, most of
western Europe saw migration after migration of Germanic peoples over
hundreds of years, from the Jutes and Angles of the seventh century through
to the Vikings of the eleventh. Of the Thracians and Scythians of
southeastern Europe, nothing remains after the invasions of Bulgars, Slavs,
and, eventually, Magyars and Turks. Minority groups like Jews and Wends
were systematically oppressed and occasionally slaughtered -- not in
isolated time periods, but fairly consistently over hundreds of years.
Religious schism and violence was frequent, from the Albigensian Crusades
through until at least the Reformation. More recently, two of the most
devastating wars ever fought -- WWI and WWII -- were fought largely by
European powers on European soil.

Has the Middle East been entirely peaceful for a similar period? No. But
not, I think, less so than Europe, although how one would develop a metric
to define that, I'm not sure. There has been a series of empires there over
the past four thousand years, of course: the Akkadians, Assyrians, and
Babylonians, then Achaemenids, Greeks, Romans and Persians, then the first
Caliphate, the Umayyads and Abbasids, and eventually the Ottomans --
punctuated here and there by European Crusades and Mongol invasions. But I
think this is hardly a more disruptive, less "diplomatic" history than
Europe's chaotic one.

The lion's share of the turmoil in the modern Middle East can be attributed
squarely to the partitioning of the region by European powers following the
dissolution and division of the Ottoman Empire early in the 20th century,
and on European and US colonial and neocolonial attempts to control oil and
access to oil since WWII. The biggest US and Western European global
priority over the past 75 years has been maintaining the supply of oil,
which has led to the propping up of oppressive regimes in some countries
(think Iraq or Saudi Arabia) and destabilizing others (think Iran).

Of course, when people in the US talk about "conflict in the Middle East"
or "peace in the Middle East," they're typically referring not to the mess
that Western geopolitical scheming has made of the region in general, but
of the Israel-Palestine conflict, a conflict that is entirely the product
of the colonization of a (largely) European Jewish population into an area
already densely populated by Palestinian Arabs, and the subsequent
disenfranchisement and displacement of the entire Palestinian population.
The Zionist movement arose and gained momentum entirely within the context
of centuries of European anti-Semitism, culminating in the Holocaust; thus
the Israel-Palestine conflict can also be considered the product of
European instability, not Middle Eastern.

As I said, I haven't read Kaplan, so this can't be read as a cogent
critique of his work. Nonetheless, I think it's important to evaluate and
question the assumptions of geographic determinist theses like Kaplan's and
Diamond's. Most of the time, they seem to leave power structures immune to
critique and opposition, not necessarily because those power structures
have any particular moral legitimacy, but because they are held to be
inevitable products of their history and geography. I'd rather investigate
patterns of successful resistance to the power structures that have been so
oppressive and disruptive to people throughout the civilized world, whether
in Europe and colonized America, the Middle East, China, or elsewhere. And
I'd much rather add my voice and effort to the dissolution of such power
structures as Israeli colonialism (and its supporters in the US) and the
continued colonial oppression of indigenous peoples and other peoples of
color where I live in North America.

For more interesting (in my view) work on geography, politics, and culture,
I'd heartily recommend James C. Scott's "The Art of Not Being Governed," on
the history of upland Southeast Asia, which I would hold as essential
reading for permaculturists interested in global geopolitics, and
resistance to it.
