Some of these countries were quite eager to be relieved of natural resources, and some are living very well thanks to constant depletion of their natural resources. The latter group includes Australia and Canada, the Saudis, and a few Arab nations. Crony systems are the main problem in these countries - and now in USA, as we know.

It is also true that US remains largely ignorant of diverse cultural background in these nations.
