Balance in the Middle East

Based on your research, is there a balance of wealth in the Middle East? What countries do you think have the highest standard of living? How might your findings illustrate a source of conflict in the region?

Based on my research there is no where near a balance of wealth in the Middle East. I think the countries that have the highest standard of living are Kuwait with a $23,423 GNP per capita, Saudi Arabia with $11,764, and Oman with $8,999. I think that these countries are typically smaller and easier to control. My findings might illustrate a source of conflict because people that are in a poor country would attack or harm other countries because of jealousy. Or maybe the richer country would attack the smaller country because it would be a cheap win. More reasons that the poor countries would attack the rich is that they would know they have a lot of natural resources.
