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.
Both regions have never progressed.... They have always been barbaric. Exactly the reason they should probably be cut off until they figure it out.
People tend to blame colonialism but I am grateful we were a British colony. Lots of colonies were able to progress and move forward. These areas are just broken.
