Iraq Situation
The discussion we had in class really deepened my knowledge of what’s going on Iraq. I didn’t realize that the situation in Iraq involved more than just that nation. Neighboring countries Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Israel, and others are all involved, directly or indirectly with this situation. Because of the widespread Sunnis and Shiites in all of these countries, it makes the conflict much larger than it appears. The different Muslims in all of these countries can potentially become active in this battle for power. The way that Israel is involved is that the U.S. is allies with them and they are pretty much hated by the majority of their neighboring countries. The U.S.’s decision on this has really affected these Sunni and Shiite countries’ opinions of the U.S. Most of them have turned anti-U.S. and this will make the transaction of turning Iraq into a well developed and stable country. The problem grows much deeper than I ever have known before, and no good solution is possible.
