Aljazeera Movie Question #2

What sources of tension, new or old, in the Middle East are revealed in this movie?


Arab spring is all the revolts and riots in the Middle East

If the USA likes the dictator, we has a good relation ship and life goes on, if we don’t like them, we kick down the door and invade

Many in the Middle East are disappointed about the USA doing nothing to help their country, yet helping others

Bahrain is important to America because of the 5th Fleet, it controls the area of the Middle East that exports most of the Middle Eastern oil

Saudi Arabia sent 1,000 troops into Bahrain to silence protest without consulting America

The government was destroying Shiite mosques 

There are protest in Saudi Arabia that we don’t help because we have a good relationship with the Saudi Government


 Basically, America will not invade Bahrain because they are allies with Saudi Arabia, and so are we. So if we attacked Bahrain, Saudi Arabia would not like us and stop giving us oil, and if we don't get oil, our Economy and Government would collapse. If America collapses, no one would be afraid of us attacking them if they attacked our allies and the whole world would probably go into war, except Australia, because there just a giant island in the middle of the ocean.
