Like how? The American first world way? Maybe we should leave those people the hell alone and see how their nations develop organically without meddling in their internal affairs for once. Middle Eastern borders are a European construct for the most part anyway. If it'd been left up to the Arabs, half the problems that they have likely wouldn't exist.
Did you read the story? ANYTHING above the posted link was a copy and paste. Too; the dude who WROTE the opinion piece is probably a Muslim Arab looking at his name. So YOU need to tell him he's wrong.

Then quote it...otherwise, it looks like you're saying it and not the actual author.

Whether or not he's right, stop preening like a peacock about your Western superiority and let other nations develop without your government putting their fingers on the scales of their governments.

How about that?

This I'll say: IF I post up something YOU find insulting, just hit the "report" button. Last time I checked: this IS the POC Forum and, the rules are a poster should make a comment, either good or bad, about the post. BTW: I DO find our "western" culture to be better than that hot mess with Muslim countries. It is what it is.

You didn't insult me...you inadvertently plagiarized your piece by not quoting properly. It looked as if it was attributed to you.

I'm not a rat. I don't snitch to the mods.
