The United States has dealt with the Middle East and surrounding regions for many decades in the context of the Cold War.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Washington sees the various local and national conflicts in the Middle East as part of a battle for regional hegemony between the U.S. and Iran.
The Middle East is obviously an issue that has plagued the region for centuries.
The Cold War has ended for America.
People nowadays don't know about the Cold War and the U.S.'s old rivalry with the U.S.S.R.
During the Cold War, America took sides not only in disputes between Arab countries, but also in debates within them.
I think the Cold War works as a great analogy or simile for different kinds of conflict. It's funny, when you look back at it, it's one of the last times that the boundaries were clear. Now, as we see on 'Homeland,' there are no clear boundaries and enemies.
Intervention continues to be a prominent dimension of the post-cold war world.
It's really necessary for the United States to continue to give strong leadership to the Middle East peace process, supported by European countries at the same time.
Today's global landscape is increasingly interconnected. China and the Middle East play critical roles towards international peace and security.
The Cold War is over but Cold War thinking survives.
