West and US Particularly out maneuvers and out smart Arab strategy by weaken most and then destroys some. Judeo-Christian alliance out smart Most Arab states using successfully diplomacy, assurance “hope” of security or aid, and back door threats. Notably Egypt and GCC, at the same time isolating and punishing other Arabs like Iraq, Libya, Syria one by one. Kinda setting example for oil rich Arab state.Arab states stood against the US many times, the US did everything they could to destroy them.
Iraq under Saddam
Libya under Gaddafi
Syria under Bashar
The monarchies acted against the US as well with the 70's oil embago, however US imposed its hegemony in the Gulf region after the 1991 gulf war by building military bases.
'Want' is not the right word, it's simply a question of force. non-Arab Muslim states are not independent, Pakistan relies heavily on the US, Turkey has been protected by NATO from the Soviets and only in the recent 10 years and Iran since 1979 is isolated.
Turkey and Pakistan (specially) are different because despite up and down, they beat west in their own game of cunning Diplomacy, while giving not much in return Except hopes. That’s why US is so frustrated with Pakistan. Plus both countries have decent militaries.
