· Lesch & Haas – The Middle
East & the United States – Chapters 4, 5-10, and 13.
Discussion 1
Throughout much of the contemporary period discussed in these
readings, America has perceived its power and influence in the Middle East to

disengagement from the region. However, at the same time, America remains the

there. How do you explain this dichotomy? How, if at all, do you think it will
eventually be resolved?
Discussion 2

policy in the long term? Why or why not?
