In this region people has less chances to accede at education than in western region. There are so many country in the Middle East without oil so the "imperialism" of the western is less visible, these countries have a large number of citizen without education, they can not manage and they do not know to live a decent life. 20-25% of population are living good, the rest is the material for lies and manipulation of extremist because they do not know to much and they do not want to know.

Free media in the Arab could help and suport democratisation but this is unlikely to be supportive of American foreign policy. American foreign policy has, and still is, inflicting war and poverty on the rest of the world. Democracy could bring improved human rights. American foreign policy and human righs are not usually equated in the arab world and until the US sorts out its morals and treats foreigners with the same dignity and rights it affords its own citizens their will be anti american feeling all around the world.
