They are Arabs, JDN. The tribal mentality and the corruption (which in context isn't even regarded as corruption, it's just doing your duty for your family and clan) have been there forever. If Arabs knew how to form a civil society and run a modern state, the entire Middle East would look completely different from what it does today. If they can learn, it will still be a slow progress. Americans want everything to happen overnight. This will take generations.
