They're not taking care of their regional affairs; they're expecting nations from other continents to do it for them.
And who would be better positioned to come into these countries and help them create functional, representative governments if not neighbouring countries which, in many cases, share the same religious and cultural values and language groups?
You can't really expect many US Marines from Tennesee to understand how offensive it is to touch a Muslim woman.
I also happen to think that an Arab relief convoy, loaded under the supervision of international observers to ensure that no guns or armaments were on board, and escorted by a moderate sized defensive naval force would have broken through the Gaza blockade of last December. Even the Israeli's for all their brazen disregard of proportional response would not have been able to withstand such a challenge without a huge condemnation from the entire world.
Instead, nothing. Earlier in 2008, I noticed that Qatar sent a "token" relief shipment of 1 tonne to Gaza. Yes, 1 tonne for a country as wealthy as Qatar is indeed a "token."
