I think that this kind of report truly shows the lack of reality-based thinking that occurs in the Arab world. The "West" is so utterly alien to them that all they have are just bizarre rantings and ravings. They truly remind me the old "cargo cults"...that's why I dismiss anyone who worries about the "Arab street"... their thinking is truly primitive and shallow and there is no way for us to understand them...

As a result of recent anthropological research, the "cargo cult" belief system - "the U.S. Government is a god that showers us with riches" - is now very easy to understand.

It turns out that the "cargo cult societies" were actually Democrats shipwrecked on those Pacific islands. ;-)
