I guess I'm just saying we have had the advantage of living in a country where we've experienced freedoms and saw the good in the world. And have been educated. Educated on science, and on society. Nature vs. nurture sort of thing. I'm not discounting either, I've always thought it's probably 50/50, but I have to assume that the odds are against you over there. Not to say you can't rise above, just saying it's understandable how things can get to that point. Especially since, our ancestors did it too.

If we lived there, and we just trying to get ahead, or even just practicing what we learned, we could be right there... The human animal reacts similarly across the board when all the chips are down.

EDIT: For those not following my first post, it's not condoning. This is the kind of thing I hate most in the world, and I've always condemned the Saudi ally while other nations get picked on for less or the same. I'm just saying, that was our ancestors not to long ago. We can't afford to label and judge. We need to help, we need to be vigilant even, and yes maybe even take action.

Just don't ever think that your so much better. Because it's really not all that easy. We all have to take care of each other.

EDIT 2: It all comes down to education really. Education lifts up the oppressed and turns tyrants into leaders. Education frees people.
