The Middle East PDF Print E-mail
The Middle East is a pivotal region in the cause of world peace, and has been so for centuries. Long before the nation of Israel was founded different ethnic, tribal and religious groups have waged war among themselves. In more modern times many of these hostilities have been moderated as nation states have sought to maximize their oil and natural gas wealth, and  gain influence, both in the region and throughout the world.
Peace in the Middle East is a crucial interest for the United States, not only because of our present dependence on the natural resources of the region, but because destabilization could not be easily contained, and could likely spread across the globe.
As a member of Congress I will always consider Middle East matters in the widest context. I will not support appeasement efforts or those that grant expedient accommodations to one entity or another, when the cost of doing so jeopardizes regional security.
