Not ignorance or arrogance. I pay attention to the news, I do my reading. Many of the countries that exist in that part of the world have displayed very little interest in joining the rest of civilization in the 21st century. Burkhas, honor killings, public stonings, chopping off of hands..the list just goes on and on.

Sure, maybe that's their culture. Maybe they like it in the simulated stone-age. Which is why I prefer it when we don't mess with what they do. Not our business. They can be wrong and evil and barbaric if they want...acting the world's ethical policeman is not going to fix backwards behavior.
