When I was in Iraq we were trying to get Iraqi’s to do things for themselves. Anytime there was an issue (road, school etc.) they would ask their elected officials. The officials would immediately turn to us and ask us what to do. They never thought it over or discussed it among themselves. Their entire culture is based on having others do things for them instead of for themselves. And the ones with the most weapons and strength are the ones they follow regardless of what the policy is.
I have no use for islamic culture at all.
I second that!
