What sources of tension, new and old, in the Middle East are revealed by the movie?
Their is a new revolt going on the Arab Spring this is called. This is happening in Bahrain. They are protesting against their dictator. These protesters are being tortured or sexually harassed. They want democracy and they expect the United States to help them get it. But we are friends with their dictator so he says no because he doesn’t want to get on the wrong side of their dictator. But if we don’t like the dictator of another country that is harassing another country we will just jump right in and start a war.
The Saudi Arabian troops helped squash the revolt. And they helped the government stay the same and not have big changes with these protesters. The government wrecked the church’s of the Shiite muslims. We have a lot of U.S troops on that island and with all of this kidnapping and harassment going on they except some of this to be stopped by the U.S but we are doing nothing.
