What sources of tension, new or old, in the Middle East are revealed by the film?
Is the US going to stop buying oil from the Middle east? Arab spring, people protest for economic reform and human rights against their dictator. Security forces opened fire on them days later. Many people were killed and injured by the protest. The Arab people ask why the US hasn’t done more. Usually if the US likes the dictator then we tend to not get involved with their decisions, and if we don’t like them then we get involved more. They are disappointed by Americas response to the fighting over human rights and economic reform. They expect the US to be a big source of democracy and step in. Protesters that have spoken to Aljazeera have been killed tortured or beaten. America’s fifth fleet is in Batrain, it is a very important naval base.
