Like Jim McMannis asked shortly after 9/11, ever consider why the Middle East hates the West so much? This article by Bernard Lewis (posted by someone on this thread, though I forget who) gave me a clue:

Tenchusatsu, I think that's too easy and simplistic an answer for what ails the Middle East. In my opinion, it plays right into the West's ego surrounding this whole issue. I think some of what Lewis says is true but I believe the reasons are far more complicated and entangled. Besides, I have a hard time seeing the West as the innocent bystanders in this mess that Lewis would have us believe.
