Root Cause of Problems in the Middle East
A 3 page research paper that argues that the root cause of problems in the Middle East is the continuing legacy of colonialism. Many members of the general public in Western countries are mystified by the problems originating in the Middle East and the threat of global terrorism. After the terrorist attacks on the US of September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush characterized the terrorists as hating liberty and American values. This is one of the views that has remained prominent as the root cause of problems of the Middle East, i.e., Islamic rigidity. Thus discussion of the root cause of conflicts in the Middle East will demonstrate that simply focusing on Islamic fundamentalism is too simplistic as this overlooks the impact of Western actions in the region and the continuing legacy of colonialism.
