I am not a follower of US politics so was hoping people could enlighten me on America's thinking.
Just heard on the news that US has pledged millions and millions of dollars to update the military weaponary of Israel and Egypt. These two countries hate each other with avengence, they are also very close to Iran, who already believes US is trying to provoke them into war.
Why are they doing this? Is this about oil again or just hoping the Middle East will blow itself off the map? Is American Foreign Policy really this short sighted? Have I missed something?
One thing that concerns me is that US is holding $200 million in aid to Egypt until it shows improvements in Human Rights Abuses, which I was in full support of. So why are they holding back with one hand and giving with the other. Sounds like nonsense to me and is going to do nothing to help the people of Egypt with their fight for human rights.
Please can you ask your Government to just bugger off and stop stiring things up in the Middle East, I don't want to live in a war zone.
