The Kuwaitis could not tolerate the tender ministrations of their Moslem brethren. They were treated in the most vile ways. That came as no suprise to anyone who knew what Iraq was like.
That was then, this is now. The problem lies in the arrogance of the Arab. This coupled with the ignorance of the average man on the street makes an unbeatable combination. They are ruled by petty tyrants who capatilise on that ignorance.They see no problem with hypocrasy as a national sport. To them Infidels are there for their use. They will never regard a non-moslem as anything else but someone to be used for their own ends. As long as the Westerner serves a useful purpose, they will put on all sorts of demonstrations of friendship. Let the moment pass and they will drop you straight in the crap.
Tell me one more time how we shouldn't develope ANWR and the Gulf of Mexico oil reserves and let the Arabs eat their oil without benefit of salt or pepper. Sure as hell sounds like a capital idea to me.
