Foreign Policy: Middle East Crisis
Oliver Burton
The United States have been deeply involved in the Middle East for over fifty years (CQ 4). During these years there have been many situations that have needed United States intervention, yet many actions that the U.S has felt that involvement was necessary and acted upon, the actions were not needed. The U.S faced consequences when acting like the ?Big Boss? in the Middle East, and some of the consequences were avoidable. When the U.S did get involved, some of their actions taken were executed with tunnel-vision, not thinking about what long-term or even short-term effects could possibly happen. The malice that came out at the end greatly outweighed that of the other choices that were on the table. Some of the actions were taken with the future of the American economy in mind; some were taken predicting the absolute worst that could happen and felt they needed to stop ?evil? (Hurewitz 58), some for political reasons, but mostly all the actions were taken to benefit the United States in one way or another (CQ 39). The U.S has fully been pro-Israel, and they were blinded to the other nations in the Middle East that
