Middle East Foreign Policy

I think our foreign policy should be to stay as we are now. I don't think we should move troops into Iran, because a move like that could anger them, and it doesn't make sense to give them any more reasons to attack us or one of our allies. However I think that we must appeal to the U.N. and take away Iran's right to be creating nuclear bombs. That way if they continue to enrich uranium in preparation for a nuclear bomb, we will have a reason to side against them. I don't think it is as all a good idea to get involved in the conflict between the Israelites and the Palestinians. Israel has the means to defend themselves, especially against the small divided forces of Palestine. If we were to enter that war, we would cause other Middle East nations to become angry at us for no particular reason. We would cause a spike in oil prices from OPEC, something we cannot afford to do in this state of the economy. Our global policy should not be to invade everyones conflicts, but to deal with the important ones in a rational way.
