You seem to be a proud Arab that is good. Stand strong against them white crackers,lol.Indeed, when that's not the case. Colonial mentality never existed in Iraq and Arabian peninsula, mainly because we managed to defeat the European superpowers or inflict heavy damages on them. For example the Portuguese were kicked out from the Arabian peninsula, by the Omani Sultan Bin Saif, with other Arab reinforcement from Saudi and other nations managed to crush them and drive them back to their colonies in Africa and India, they also ransacked them. Also the Arabian tribes in the east coast would often attack the British ships, which lead to the British in burning Doha to the ground, but the attacks continued on them. In Iraq the British were crushed during the 1921 in Iraq, because they suffered a lot of damages then they installed the Hashamites there to keep peace. Within Arabia itself, the British saw from previous experience of the Portuguese that direct colonization would not work, they tried but they also failed, so they bought out some leaders that's all. However they never bought the leaders of Jebal Shammar, because they refused they took the war with them in Iraq, and often attacking the British out post there. Recently with the Anglo-American forces, had suffered heavily especially in the Western regions, which they could not be subdued. Heck even in the Southern regions, many of the tribesmen fought against the Anglo-American forces, it was only few traitors from outside and have no tribal affiliation that welcomed them.
Since we managed to kick their asses, and never got dominated we never developed this colonial mentality or inferiority complex. Libyans are the same in North Africa, because they managed to inflict heavy damages on the Italians and their Ethiopian mercenaries.
