ISIS and the Arab malady: the kind of articles that Saudi official propaganda loves

Those kind of articles are in vogue. The writers are the main correspondent for Economist (a cheerleader of the Free Syrian Army) and a researcher of Human Rights Watch.  Read the whole piece and you would think that Western governments have basically left the Arab people to determine their own fate, and that the US has not been bombing the shit out of the region, and that Israel is a mere peaceful factor in the Arab world, and that the only problem of Western governments is that they have not launched more wars and have not bombed more Arab countries. That is called "deep thinking" about the Middle East in Western media.
