the US is dependent on oil. then, it creates allies with the arabs, then simultaneously it creates allies with Israel, then somehow conflict breaks out. but that's not really the point. it's more important to examine the religions.''examine the dependency factor on oil problems in the middles east?
Much of the world recieves its oil from the Middle East, which incase you hadn't noticed, is in great conflict. This creates a double-edged sword wherein we are dependent on an international commodity that is primarily provided by some not too friendly people..
The world is running out of oil Fast! Huge industrialist countries like America are dependant on oil. This is why America is so desperate to ';create'; stability in the middle east. Countries in the middle east have huge oil reserves. If they didn't George Bush wouldn't bother with them.


Hence, the war of terror, umm sorry the war on terror.
I'm not sure what the dependency factor is referring to.


Here's how I would answer it.


1. U.S. consumes a lot of oil. 40% of the its energy comes from oil.





2. Although the Middle East's influence is lessening, the U.S still depends on the middle east for Oil. Read the wikipedia article on OPEC (group of Middle East Oil powers...see link below).





3. OPEC influences U.S policy because of this. When deciding what to do, the U.S. has to factor in its need for oil. The U.S. probably wouldn't have the same relationship with Saudi Arabia and other Arab nations if not for oil.
