Description
Now that the Cold War has ended and an era of globalization dominates the world stage, it is appropriate that the United States’ foreign policy in the Middle East be adapted accordingly. America’s overwhelming support of Israel in the form of political top cover in the United Nations Security Council and billions of dollars in economic and military aid are a result of Cold War thinking and require an upgrade. In order to achieve U.S. interests in the Middle East, the Bush Administration must balance its lop-sided approach to Israel and consider Arab and Muslim culture, interests and institutions.
