It's a very bad habit to lump any parts of the middle east together. ME is not like any other part of the world. With the possible exception of various sheikhdoms in the Persian Guelph, all the other neighboring countries are very different from each other. Saudis, Egyptians, and Syrians are all Arabs and yet more different from each other than an American is to an Australian. Bundling Iranians, Turks, Iraqis, and other Arab countries together is like saying Russians, Swedes, Brits, and the Greek are in the same group because they are all Westerners. BTW, the problems that the ME has suffered from were made by design. The British (and the French) drew the maps on purpose in such a way to create instability. Just take a look at how they sandwiched the Jews between the Palestinians or how they forced 3 very different ethnic groups into Iraq and then cut off (ok, severely limited) their access to the sea just to create constant tension between Iraq and its neighbours. People think that somehow there is something inherently wrong with the middle easterners for the problems they face without understanding that their grandparents made it that way.
