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".
