aljazeera film points two.

What sources of tension, new and old, in the Middle East are revealed by this film?

    Traders started betting, and that basically factors in with the future prices of oil. In the country of Bahrain, protesters took to the street, calling for economic reform and political equality on February 14. They want a rebirth, “The Arab Spring”. Labeled Agents of Iran. U.N. called in shocking, and more than 30 people have been killed since the protest began. Everyone really just wants to know, why hasn’t the U.S. done more? If the U.S. likes the dictator of a country, we don’t want to get involved in protesting against the government. But if we don’t like a country or the dictator, we will jump right on it and get involved, preaching for justice and peace and equality. This frustrates people; it’s not fair. In the U.S. defense, apparently we can’t be expected to jump in like a hero for every single problem that happens in countries around the world.
    People who have spoken to Aljazeera have been beaten, gone missing or injured. But some are still willing to speak. People are losing their jobs for participating in the protests. So many resources come out of the Middle East, and Bahrain, that’s why it’s so important to protect. Also, because we don’t want countries like Iran, which we “despise” so profit from these resources. Wealthy businessmen are completely biased, and believe that protesting because you’re unhappy with your standard of living is “a joke”. Not all maybe, but probably most. But he thinks life should stay the same, he wants the rich to stay rich and the poor to stay poor.
    The U.S. is standing right by, there are so many of them on that island, and they aren’t doing anything. They can’t really do anything. This man’s brothers are missing, and nobody, not even his own people with help him because he could go missing also.    
    U.S. fighter jets are standing by, letting everyone know that they’re always near by. It costs a million dollars a day to have one of those up and running there. The U.S.S. Ronald Reagan sits in the between of Saudi Arabia and Iran, one being a friend of the U.S. and another a sworn enemy of Washington, D.C. with many trades going through.
    The U.S. is only doing things to our benefit. We don’t want to upset those countries that give us imperative resources, but are totally willing to get involved with those countries we don’t like and that "don’t matter".

 Aljazeera and the U.S. have some tension with the two different ideas of “free press”. Obama made the decision to invade Libya, for the purpose of trying to stop a set of horrific crimes from happening. They say they stopped massacre. The U.S. are trying to help the rebels in their attempts, but it’s very hard. They don’t have and physical protection, and it’s very dangerous to guard the checkpoints like that. Obama’s plan is to train his own rebel army, but they’re inexperienced and they don’t know much about the enemy. Oil is a very strong factor in why the U.S. is involved with Libya. The rebels have taken over an oil company, and they say they haven’t been producing any oil and there has also been talk about them making some. People have been trying to help the U.S. in thinking twice about starting anything. We don’t know where it’s gonna end, and we don’t really have a full understanding. We could just be causing ourselves more trouble.

countries in the middle east ("essay"...?).

Based on the information that I received looking up all these countries economics, I would say that the Middle East is... alright. No matter what you do, or where you go, things are always gonna be based on your social class. I think that might be why the Middle East is so low on that scale, their countries don't have as much money. This makes them angry. Which leads into how this might cause conflict. Larger countries (the ones with more money), may try to attack and take over the smaller ones. And vice versa, only to try and weaken that larger ones. Also, the ones with less money may feel inferior, like they aren't good enough and the larger more wealthy countries are better. That obviously is very known, look at where the U.S. is right now with the Middle East. Everything always comes back to money, whether there's a lot of it, or barely any. It always causes problems, and always will.
