And considering where we are now, I think having the Ottoman Empire disintegrate was a very, very bad thing.

The only reason Churchill is remembered as a good man is because he opposed Hitler.
Again, because the Ottomans collapsed, the Sauds came to power. They eventually got back to their old tricks of promoting radicalism. Because of that, 9/11 occurred.
Britain should have made an effort to keep the Ottomans neutral in the War. Or, hell, promise them back something in return. Libya, perhaps? Italy was at first on the German side after all.
