The Middle East has had oil for over a century, why are their children running around in filthy hand me down clothes from the West? Why are they uneducated? Can't blame the West for that.
"kill all the smart & productive ones for a dozen generations" - who were these smart and productive ones and who killed them?
Europe's history is filled with war yet technological and scientific innovation flourished.
