- The Balance of Power In ME
- Published at:Not Found
The United States is facing many problems in the Middle East now among of which the Arab-Israeli conflict and the mounting Iraqi resistance; but the most disturbing and dangerous is the challenge posed against the traditional balance of power in the area. Traditionally, Israel has been militarily unmatched by the Arabs, and the Arabs have been facing an enemy that is well-equipped and superior in fire-power. The Western countries have committed themselves to the military superiority of the Zionist state since its establishment in 1948. France undertook this task at the very beginning, and the US is considered now the prime source of Israeli military might. Although Israel has been making considerable achievements in the realm of military industry, the US still offers very advanced military equipment such as F15’s E and F22 warplanes.
