They will never understand it in that part of the world.
Violence is encoded in the Arab DNA.
After we dispatched Saddam we should of left.
This attempt to introduce a sense of Western ethics into the Arab world is akin to trying to teach monkeys how to read.

Don't know about "never"; the Islamic world is being forced by events to traverse within two or three generations a path that took us around 800 years - and even today (when we no longer much tend to religious warfare between ourselves) a look back over the last 100 years of Western history suggests that whatever proportion of our violent behavior is encoded within human DNA was ladled out in a pretty evenhanded manner.
