Some policies that I feel would be appropriate for my Option would be:
- focus more on winning the hearts and minds of the people instead of forcing them into a government that they are not accustomed to.
- Lots of the Middle Eastern countries have seen our presence in the Middle East as a dangerous threat to their nations customs and our greed for oil, so if we helped out more Arab countries and decreased our amount of aid to Israel a little bit, it will be a win-win for us.
- If we promoted Democracy and Freedom in the region by example it would affect many people more than attacking foreign governments and giving them a reason to not support our ideas. (A lot of young adults are ready for change, so we can influence them). The one exception to that policy would be if a dangerous dictatorship was a threat to the US or our allies and we got permission from the UN Council instead of illegally going into that country.
- If we gain more allies by giving more aid and creating more nations like ourselves, more Arab countries will be generous will their oil and then we wouldn't have to struggle to obtain it from countries like Iran who refer to the US as the "greater satan."
