Seriously, how woould you feel if you saw arab forces and bases in your own country? How would you feel if your gowernment was in the Jordanian backpocket?

The question is not about who defeated them. The question is about being proud and being humiliated at the same time.

The Japanese felt that way in the 1800's. Their response was to modernize themselves, and they went on to become one of the most powerful nations on earth. If the Arabs don't like being backward and weak, they need to dump the baggage that's holding them back.

I agree with you. But again that isn't the issue here.
