Идеология американо-иракской конфронтации на современном этапе

Abstract

There is a long and time-honoured lineage to the USA involvement and policy in the Persian Gulf. Over the period the US security policy in the Gulf has b e e n characterized by two elements: — a practical sense of how the policy will address the problem; — a vision of what a more stable region would look like if the policy were fully and successfully carried on; The Gulf remains in the focus of the US attention and it could be argued that the Gulf problems (primarily, Iraq) actually represents the number one issue facing the world nowdays.
