You're acting like arabs are incapable of self-determination.

It's not like the Persian people voted the Shah into power.
There is no one group of persons out there who are incapable of self-determination, however, history shows us that it takes a lot to get to that point and usually involves a lot of bloodshed. If you think I'm talking about Arabs in particular there, you're mistaken. Self-determination is not something we can force on people though, they have to want it for themselves. Western civilization has many instances of the exact same thing.
