Why are Middle Eastern extremists so unhappy with the U.S.? A. Muslims used to be the dominant power in the world, but have since fallen behind Western countries. B. Imperialism by European countries in the 1800s and 1900s-Middle Eastern countries were forced to serve European ones. C. Israel was created by Western countries for the Jews and Muslims were pushed out. D. The US has supported oppressive monarchies in the Middle East (i.e. Iran, Egypt, S.A.)

Why are Middle Eastern extremists so unhappy with the U.S.? E. When the West modernized, it was forced to give its people more freedom, equality, and education. The Middle East is trying to decide whether or not to modernize and risk losing thier traditional values. Fundamentalists (like bin Laden) want to return to traditional ways Cities (pro-West) v. countryside (poor areas are breeding ground for fundamentalists)

Why did Bin Laden attack the U.S.? A. Lack of recognition by Saudi Arabia and Pakistan for his achievements in 1980s- both countries turned to the US for protection. B. U.S. had a strong presence in the Middle East. C. U.S. supports M.E. monarchies- Bin Laden would like them overthrown.

How to handle Terrorism? A.Allow Saudi Arabia to handle its own problems, since oil is important to everyone. B.Stop the proliferation of nukes to make sure fundamentalist nations never obtain them. C. Stay allies with moderate Muslims nations like - Turkey, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia. D. Rebuild devastated countries that are breeding grounds for terrorists.
