Wikipedia has a fairly balanced article on the region.\nYour best bet would be to look up individual nations, the CIA factbook is actually pretty good (and surprisingly objective for a government source)\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_East\nhttp://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html

1- Petrol\n 70% of the world's production and 90% of it's reserves is to be found in very primitive arab countries (like Saudi Arabia, Quwait, Emerates, Qatar and Lybia). Those so called countries who are not even mature enough to be considered nations are very close to other more important, far more developed, and highly cultured arab countries (like Iraq, Egypt, Syia and Morroco).\n If any super power (let it be the UK or the USA or whoever) wants a steady and secure supply of petrol, then it must make sure that the more developed arab countries will not form a united front (pan arabism) and control the production and sales of the most important resource ever(The commodity that makes armies move, factorys work, etc)\n\nThus, a nation has to be forged to prevent arabs from working as a team by casuing enough trouble to the more developed arab countries, all under acceptable moral cover of course.This nation was Israeil.\n\n2-The Egypt-Syria axis\nAlong history, especialy the past 1000 years,any attempt to unite the arab world had always started by uniting Egypt and Syria(The brain of the arabs). The presence of Israeil right in the middle between the two nations makes such union impossible.\n\n3-Suez Canal\nHe who control the suez canal controls a large percentage of the maritime movement from west toeast and from north to south and vice versa. It is important to have a nation near the canal that can cause trouble to the nation who would missuse it.

The Panama Canal Treaties state that the United States can take control of the Canal if the safety of the Panama Canal is threatened, and if Panama can't guarantee the Canal's safety, and only for the duration of the threat.\n\nWhen the threat has finished the US must give back control of the Canal to Panama.

This is because the UK and Italy and Germany are filthy rich greedy Western countries that avoid acting responsibly. They know about the mines, but they ignore them.\n\nThe above mentioned country's have coldhearted governments that don't care about Egyptians.\n\nEgypt must call on the International Community to FORCE those countries to send special teams to clean the filth they left on Egyptian Soveirgn Soil.\n\nBloody Arrogant Western Governments!\n\nHow would they feel if the tables were turned?\n\nThey're so bloody arrogant!

Myanmar, officially the Union of Myanmar (also known as Burma or the Union of Burma by bodies and states who do not recognize the ruling military junta), is the largest country (in geographical area) in mainland Southeast Asia. It is bordered by Tibet and the People's Republic of China on the north, Laos on the east, Thailand on the southeast, Bangladesh on the west, and India on the northwest, with the Andaman Sea to the south, and the Bay of Bengal to the southwest. There are over 2,000 kilometres (1,243 mi) of coastline. The country was ruled by a military junta led by General Ne Win from 1962 to 1988, and its political system today remains under the tight control of its military government, since 1992, led by Senior General Than Shwe.

The Panama Canal (Spanish: Canal de Panamá) is a major ship canal that traverses the isthmus of Panama in Central America, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The construction of the canal was one of the largest and most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken. It has had an enormous impact on shipping, as ships no longer have to travel the long and treacherous route via the Drake Passage and Cape Horn at the southernmost tip of South America. A ship sailing from New York to San Francisco via the canal travels 9,500 kilometres (6,000 mi), well under half the distance of the previous 22,500 kilometre (14,000 mi) route around Cape Horn.[1]\n\nAlthough the concept of a canal in Panama dates back to the early 16th century, the first attempt to construct a canal began in 1880 under French leadership. After this attempt collapsed, the work was finally completed by the United States, and the canal opened in 1914. The building of the 77 kilometre (48 mi) canal was plagued by problems, including disease (particularly malaria and yellow fever) and massive landslides. As many as 27,500 workers are estimated to have died during construction of the canal.\n\nSince opening, the canal has been enormously successful, and continues to be a key conduit for international shipping. Each year the canal accommodates the passage of more than 14,000 ships, carrying more than 203 million tonnes of cargo. By 2002 about 800,000 ships had passed through the canal.[2]

This is an easy one:  Kuwait.\n\nKuwait has, without exception, shown itself as a trustworthy and loyal friend to the U.S.\n\nSaudi Arabia was playing both sides of the fence, but recently they have reversed this policy.  They appear to be firmly on our side, but Kuwait has, by far, the longer track record.\n\nEgypt is not a real friend.  Their government may help us on occasion, but mainly they just like the billions in aid we give them every year.  The average Egyptian hates the U.S.\n\nIronically, Libya may turn out to be a strong ally soon.  They have renounced their WMD programs, and may intervene on our behalf with Iran and North Korea.

India. It is a democracy and China is a dictatorship. Simple as that.
