The Obama Administration's Middle East Policy Towards

The Middle East is located in the junction of Europe, Asia and Africa. Its strategic position is very important. In the Middle East, the contradiction is most centralized and most complex in the world. The Middle East is a hot spot place where there is the most violent force and the most local conflicts. The Middle East has rich resources of energy. The supplies and prices of energy play an important role in the prosperity of economy of all countries, so this decides that The Middle East has a particular role in the economic life in the world. People always pay attention to the situation of the Middle East. Atpresent the situation of the Middle East continues to be tense and unstable and various kinds of terrorist attacks and conflicts still occur sometimes. The reason of its unstable situation is complex which has deep history and realistic root. But the external reason which influences the situation of the Middle East is mainly the American policy for the Middle East. Because American is the most powerful country in the world which has important benefit and influence in the Middle East, American policy for the Middle East has decisive influence on the situation of the Middle East.After the Cold War, the basis of American hegemony turned more and more weak. Since the Gulf War, American policy on Middle East strayed from the demand of the diplomacy of the equilibrium,and turned to use the military measure to control the Middle East. The deficient of the US global strategy was exposed in the Iraq War obviously. The reasons of these due to the Bush Administration choose the opposite way to the US traditional equilibrium diplomacy.The administration of the new government bring the historic favorable circumstance to rearrange the status of the Middle East in US Global Strategy. The new Middle East Policy acts the important role whatever in us internal or diplomacy. The policy has not accomplished yet, but from the views and opinions of Obama in his parliamentary or in the opening and meanwhile the policy carried out, we can realize the total frame and basic mentality of the Obama Government's treatment to the Middle East. From this it can be seen that US Middle East strategy will make some trivial arrangement around the US traditional equilibrium diplomacy in the future.
