You think the US is unique enough in these ways to account for the massive difference? What about the history of England, or Germany? They have much more blood on their hands, historically, as well as a big gap between rich and poor. They watch the same movies, and are subject to the same world events. I don't see the major difference that would account for the massively different body counts.

P.S. I truly hope you don't think Arab nations (a vague enough generalization as is) resent the US because of its culture. If anything, many Arabs spend much of their time trying to emulate it.
