U.S. Middle East Policy: Too Many Challenges and Yet a Single Theme
Rubin, Barry
Middle East Review of International Affairs, June 2009, v13, #2, pp24-39 (pdf)
"The Obama administration faces an enormous number of challenges in the Middle East each of which has its separate roots and requirements. Yet throughout these conflicts runs a single theme: the battle between an Iran-led coalition and other states, along with the overlapping battles of Islamists versus nationalists, and sometimes of Sunni versus Shi’a. This article is a brief analysis of these issues and the options possessed by the administration in dealing with them."
