I'm not discounting centuries of Arab terror and imperialism, Hoss.
But I can't help noticing they don't require the world's most powerful navy to export their terror half-way-round the globe in the same way the UK and US do. When Lord Balfour and Lord Rothschild mid-wifed a Jewish state they made sure to put it in the heart of Arab oil, knowing full well the fortunes that would follow from arms and oil sales. It's how the rich have gotten richer for thousands of years.
