Mistakes or something worse? The democractic and capitalistic West continues to support governments and ruling parties all over the world, that have nothing to do with the West's values. The above news item is just a small example. People in Saudi Arabia, among other countries, are simply not free. Governments and rulers that are closer to Hitler's and Stalin's practices than of anyone free and democratic. They care not for the good of their people unless it is something that will help them remain in power and continue to steal from their own country.
People growing up and living in such countries have a clear look for the West. Countries and people that support the people that suppress them and keeping them in check. They see the West doing nothing but helping their rulers continue to keep them in poverty, lack of freedom and constant propaganda.
What happens then when the people want things to change? We have two usual relief valves. One is what happened in Afghanistan with the Taliban. The other is what is happening in Saudi Arabia among other countries. They know, or believe that they cannot do anything to change in their own countries, and they try to release their anger somehow. Violent protests against a comic strip for example. Placing their beliefs and hopes on religious issues, devine powers that for many, is the only solution, only relief from their suffering. The extremists get more and more recruits every day, easily.
In the meantime what do the governments and rulers of those states do to help the West that helps them stay in power? Nothing. In fact they prefer it this way since the people instead of protesting (at least) against them, they attack, verbaly and physicaly, people and objects of the West.
Yes, that is right, the allies of the West are helping terrorists to attack the West. Because that saves their own ass. The West continues to support them since they are making money, and getting access to oil, and are fueling their own destruction. With no end in sight.
I am worried, religious and "religious" violence is on the increase, intolerance is also increasing, not only in those countries but also in the West. What we see is the continuous slow eradication of Western values, in Europe and the USA. How many more terrorist attacks before things get way worse? A possible attack(s) with WMD, would that bring much faster, much more "efficiently" an end to the broader democratic values of the West? A broad change that even Hitler wouldn't have dreamed of? We keep feeding the monster that might consume us all.
I am very worried about the future.
