student reading three: a few more explanations.

1. What questions do you have about the reading? How might they be answered?
My question about this reading would be for the government. Why would you disagree with Bush on something so controversial, so public? It's not really making things any better.
2. What U.S. policies do most Muslims hate and why? If you need more information, how might you find it?
There are four main policies and reasons most Muslims hate of the U.S. One of them would be the fear of Western leadership. They're afraid we might be in total control. We're intimidating and they won't back down. Two more would the the Iraqi jihad, and slow-paced social and political reforms in some Muslim countries. Lastly, the strong opinion of anti-U.S. in which Al Qaeda takes advantage of.
3. Why might acknowledging that U.S. policies have anything to do with jihadist attacks be seen as "politically incorrect" and "blaming the victim"?
It might be seen that way because to us, WE'RE the victim. They attacked us out of "jealousy" and it really truly isn't our fault (totally not my opinion, btw).
4. Despite a year of effort by Obama's special envoy George Mitchell to move the Israelis and Palestinians toward a negotiated two-state solution, there's been no visible progress. Why not? If you need more information, where might you find it?
They haven't made any progress because there are so many loose ends. Israel has to deal with a terrorist group, who refuses to associate, and it's pretty difficult to deal with something or someone that is ignoring you. Also, there are so many different opinions on who gets Jerusalem. They just can't come to a decision together, therefore they're pretty much stuck where they are.
5. How and why are the people of Gaza suffering? If you need more information, how might you find it?
The people of Gaza are suffering because of Hamas control. They've been able to send so many terrorist into Israel, that they've been completely cut off. Now the people of Gaza are short on supplies, and they have power shortages. They need much help, but it's far too dangerous to try.
