How do you suggest those things are overcome? Bombing? You seriously think the entire population is unwilling to work? On a community scale with wealth comes enlightenment and a higher chance of progressive culture. I'd also question where and how you think the last two apply. If you can show me an example where wealth and these symptoms don't correlate I'll be interested.

As for oil, only about 0.01% of the population ever sees the money, particularly in saudi. One reason these places are in the sorry state they are is the corrupt, undemocratic regimes that have been artificially propped up and installed for decades. Now who did that...
