I have no doubt the Arabs think differently, have different customs, and don't understand or like us very much. My point was that "the West's betrayals of the Arab world" is a pretty broad brushed and grandiose statement to apply to the incidents you've cited. Bush Sr's inciting Iraquis to revolt , after the first Gulf War, then leaving them to swing in the breeze, would be one action that would come under your description, In my opinion.
