What do you think about Middle Eastern relations?

America

I am a ME studies major at GW and am currently posting from Cairo, Egypt.

As far as I am concerned America should stop all forms of support to Egypt. Egypt is a moderately oppressive pseudo-dictatorship which has the worst of both worlds: a failed socialist system and a militant government. Its amazing how a few weeks here can make you support isolationist policies.

As for the rest of the middle east i think America should just come out and say it;

you have oil, we need oil, sell it to us fo' cheap or we will take it. It would make things much more interesting.

Also America should stop the unquestioning support of israel and Saudi Arabia. this would solve a huge number of problems we face here literally over night.

I could go on for a while longer but I wont.

what you gonna about it?
