Well, isn't Colonialism (for example) at the bottom of the Iraqi conflict? If that country hadn't been cobbled together, we wouldn't have the problems we have today. Maybe we'd have different problems, who knows- but the cobbling together of Iraq is certainly having ramifications for us now. I do think resentment of the fairly recent past has to play a part, and racism grows out of resentment, and fear. Seems to me Arabs have plenty of reasons for resentment and fear. That doesn't make the actions they take in response to that resentment and fear "right", but I think it helps to understand them.
