I don't disagree with that. But how do those people get those viewpoints? State run media. There is no "free press" in a lot of those countries. The state run media feeds the people so called "information" on what they want their puppets to hear. Unless you are going to tell me that there is freedom of the press over there.
They also teach it in the schools from early on. I saw a recent palestinian version of Sesame Street. They asked a 6 year old little girl what she wanted to be when she grew up. She said she wanted to be a suicide bomber.
Why is there so much poverty in those oil rich countries? Is that the United States fault too? We buy their oil at record prices per barrel, and then take the money on back?
Yes, it would take major
ChevyBalls to openly protest those governments
