Middle East Video

What source of tension, new and old, in the Middle East are revealed by the film? 
Libya wants Gaddafi to leave and to die. They want them to leave their country and their people alone. In Libya their are recruiting young men. Their are showing them how to fire a gun, most of them have never even fired a gun. All of these people fighting for the rebel cause aren’t necessary happy with the U.S government, but they still fight with the rebels. United States has global responsibilities around the world. They need to keep global economy the same and not make decisions that will change that. 
Every time a tanker comes in there are tanker watchers. There is now and industry of tanker watching. As they were leaving when told to leave there was a gun fight at the gate. After being told many times by the rebels that there has been no oil being exported they went to a president of an oil company. 
A lot of politicians say that we should have looked over the ups and downs of this situation more than we did. We did not think of the other countries involved as much as we should have.

  3. Good job Mitch! But I agree with Dexter, why is it so important for the oil to be a secret? And what is the money being produced by the oil going to?

  4. I wonder what exactly Gaddafi did to anger the people of Libya. Though, after over 50 years of being a dictator, it is natural that people would want to rebel against him. I would have to agree with the politicians that say we rushed into the conflict too fast. We should have considered other countries involvement before we did.
