AMH Class Discussion 12136
The discussion that we had on the situation in the Middle East and the desicion making that needs to be made my the United States made me realize how much this war has developed and become worse over the past several months and years. Politics and military are the two main focuses of the issue in the Middle East especially with our own troops. Iran’s troops that are supported by the United States should be moved up towards the front lines while we slowly and secretly begin to take soldiers away from battle. One move that is not an option however, is completely removing all soldiers from Iraq. This would kill our image among other nations and especially with any supporters we had in the Middle East that were working for a democracy. The situation that the U.S. is dealing with is like walking on thin ice. One wrong desicion that has a hard impact and everything begins to slowly shatter and then finally completely come apart. This is why the United States needs to begin to find a new way of looking at the tensions between Iran and its religious groups and its political system. Apparently, the system that is in place now is not very effectice and should be changed as soon as possible without extremely negative affects. With all the power that America has it also has large responsibilities and is respected by its comrads so if we were to make a bad desicion those comrads could disappear and not come back which would be a very bad action towards our international relations.

The discussion we had in class opened my eyes as well to the developing war that is occuring in Iraq. I recently learned that there were many other fighting groups and not just the U.S., such as the Shiites, Sunnis, and the more obvious Al Qaeda. The fact that so many people are fighting makes it harder to come to a decisions as to whether America should start to consider pulling out of Iraq after we’ve created so many on-going issues and problems.
