China, Latin America, most of Asia, India, and much of Africa seek reforms and hard work to join in on Western-induced globalization. But the reactionary Arab World wants it three ways:
- not to give up tribalism, autocracy, controlled economies, gender apartheid, religious intolerance, or polygamy;
- still enjoy modern material benefits it cannot produce and cannot pay for, whether computers, advanced medical care, or jumbo jets; and
- blame the West for whetting its appetite and putting it in such an embarrassing dilemma.
