Middle East Conflict Questions

1. How did your country get involved in the Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East?
The 9/11 attack on the world trade center led the United States to go to war with Iraq and Afghanistan. This also led for the search for Al Quida.

2. What is the history of your country's involvement in that conflict, from when it entered until now? (This will likely be a long answer...)
Well, The United States entered the war after the attack on the World Trade Center in 2001. The United States needed to to protect them selves in case of another terrorist attack. They felt threatened and had to protect their borders. With this going on, the United States have been spending so much money on the war that the economy went bad. Plus, the war also resulted for the raise in gas prices since Afghanistan and Iraq are suppliers of oil. Now its no easy to stay in Iraq knowing that Americans are going through hard times because of the war and debt the Bush administration put the U.S.

3. Who are your enemies in the Middle East? Why?
Mainly Iraq and Afghanistan because of 9/11. But most of the middle east doesn't like us because of the way we handle situations like this. People also think that Americans are greedy and care most about money.

4. Who are your friends in the Middle East? Why?
Israel is probably one of the U.S. allies because they are a good supplier of weapons and oil. Also Israel would help us if anything bad was going on.

5. What does your country want out of the Arab-Israeli conflict?
Well, since going into Iraq many Americans have been killed and the economy has been demolishing because of the reason that America has been spending trillions of dollars on the war. Thus putting the U.S. in a Trillion dollar debt. The United States mainly want help to get out of debt and for people to stop makin threats on the U.S. so they don't have to declare war. Also so countries don't attack the U.S.

6. What is it prepared to give up to get what it wants?
The United States could be less demanding and cut back on some oil and supplies that isn't that important to the U.S.

7. What will it not give up to get what it wants?
The U.S. will probably not give up any land and not cut back on oil immensely. The U.S. needs the oil to run the cars, industries, and planes. The U.S. probably won't give away any money knowin that there in a Trillion dollar debt.
