I know they are not arabs and even if they were, it would be no problem either. We were talking about politics here. Most of the times, the people has little to no say when it comes to (geo)politic moves of the ruler. Even in the so called free world.
Simple example outside of war : french people voted No in a referendum about European Constitution and they ignored it and repackaged it with the Treaty of Lisbon.
I'm not one to villify the people of a nation for the action of the ruling people. France has done and still does a lot of bad deeds around the world but the people is uninformed, misinformed or unaware.
