Common Raz, you're smarter than that. People will behave the same way if put in similar situations. What sets us apart is what decisions we make. The Middle East has been making the wrong decisions for several centuries now.
While I agree with your conclusion, the initial behavior argument borders dangerously on self-defeating excuses.

A lot of black families in America are still suffering from some of the legacies of slavery. But many are not, which diminishes the validity of such a blanket explanation.

It's also a mistake to think Democracy is the end all be all.
Absolutely true. One could argue that Iraq could only function as a dictatorship in recent decades, for example. So it depends on what evils you're willing to put up with.

    If democracy AND justice prevail, there will be no problems ever...

    Good luck on that though... wherever there is money to be made, there will always be injustice, IMO.

    My concern is that, with the countries lining up, Yemen looks a lot like 1914 Serbia in a number of ways.

    I think I have to clarify that the war is not against Yemen. It is against a gang of rebels who have hijacked the country recently. The attacks so far were not reported to target civilians even by Houthi sources...

    This was about time, you don't have to be genius to know that sooner or later Saudi Arabia would have to interfere before Iran put their hands in the Gulf like they did in Syria and Iraq and Yemen.

    It's clear, this is Iran vs Saudi Arabia, both are foreign political cancer in the region and have done nothing to slightly lower the tension for the past 10 years.

    Saudi Arabia will not let Iran politically grow through their Shiite Militia's in Gulf region, and Iran's foreign policy will never stop to strengthen their tools/men in the region and be the force they are today on the political table against the West and Gulf.

    Pakistan today denied it is participating in this war. So, now they are 9 countries. All of them are Arab countries.

    It's not that hard to see facts in this conflict. It's not complicated. It easily gathered worldwide approval.

    A multi-billionaire thief and ousted dictator, Ali Abdullah Saleh, who stole Yemenis money for the past 30 years or so is allying his loyalists with radical Houthi 'militias' (BTW, the use of the word 'Militia' by media rather than 'Terrorists' won't change any facts) who are backed by other terrorists such as Hezbollah's Hasan Nasrallah and Iran's supreme leader Ali Khamenei against the legitimate elected president.

    For some, their hate for Saudi Arabia and GCC countries has blinded their vision and twisted their logic.
