What sources of tension, new and old, in the Middle East are revealed by the film?
Sources of tension in the Middle East is one is that Qaddiffi is attacking and killing cities and people. When the U.S. intervened with Libya and other countries this caused more conflict, and might of actually killed more people then it saved. Qaddiffi has military support but the rebels who we are rooting for is really only a militia. The rebels do not have great weapons and only have weapons from WW2 and from some they can steal. The Libyan government and the US government had to discuss if the US got involved than they could work out a deal for crude oil. Another reason why there could be a tension is that Qatar is a major supporter of the rebel forces and the Libyan government does not like that. They don’t think it’s right because the rebels don’t own the oil and they do not have the right to sell the crude oil. The rebels find ways to produce oil and sell the oil through the oil ships in a way that is not legal. A council member even confirmed that the rebels are making at least 100,000 barrels a day of oil. According to the video the U.S. might not even know everything about the people that they are supporting. The United States should not intervene because it is none of our business. The side that we are supporting does not have very good experience, the rebels are very young, and they do not have a lot of fire power.
You use a lot of big words and a font that I didn't want to read.
ReplyDeleteThe facts are good and you put it together well, but the font is atrocious
ReplyDeleteI don't know what your talking about. It's perfect.
ReplyDeleteOne of the things that makes me worry about this conflict is that it does not seem to be primarily about the spread of democracy. I think that it would be easier for the American people to support if this was clearly a democratic uprising. But, it seems to be more of an "anti-Qaddafi" movement.
