Importance of mid-east
Theres no other region in the world over as much a
contradictory picture as middle east
Home for three religions, the region has unparalleled
diversity of culture and history
Rich with oil reserves, makes mid east as a host of
one of the worlds most precious natural resources
It has also been an ongoing host to historic conflicts
between arab countries and israel, between
conservatives and radical regimes, between iran and
iraq, and the gulf war coalition, between the oil rich
and non oil states, between secularist and and
islamic fundamentalist.
Special characteristic
Iran with its ambitious revolutionary
ideas,
Saudi Arabia with its political and
theological concept of wahabism
Egypt with its dreaming idea to unify
Arabic countries through spirit of pan
arabism
