How do US policies oppress the Arabs any worse than the Arabs oppress themselves?

Not to mention that Americans are their saviours from Saddam.


Hey, nobody likes a rich guy! Most of the people in Kuwait are not that rich, and power equates with rich. If they are rich, they don't like our power.

In spite of all of the above, most of the Arabs would kill for a green card. They want a chance at the brass ring.

So the problem is that Arabs are jealous of the riches of Americans. Oh OK then. Their aversion to the US is not due to US policies in the Middle East that they see as oppressing fellow Arabs for decades.

The two causes are hardly mutually exclusive, zonder.
