Until the people of these barbaric regions learn a less violent way then they will never assimilate to the rest of the world.    

This is why I wished we had an Australia style point system for immigration.  

Yeah. I wish we were never involved with Sadam, the Saudis, or the Shah. If we had no use for the oil, we could let them fight it out or let them be. Most of the hatred among Arabs is a result of the whole Shia and Sunni thing. In Africa a lot of it has to do with tribes that have traditionally not gotten along living within the same "unnatural borders". It's like forcing the Hatfields and McCoys to live in the same house. The US had little if anything to do with the borders in the Middle East or Africa. We can thank the Europeans for that. Certain groups just don't get along, and shouldn't have been forced to live together. I think we would hear of far less barbaric behavior in Africa if that didn't happen. The mid east is a different ballgame though.
