It has been almost six years since the War in
Iraq started. Although President Bush has formed a democracy in the
Middle East, we have not yet seen many improvements. In addition, many Middle Eastern women and children are still limited in freedom. One of my concerns is that if we do not help the
Middle East, the rights of the women and children will remain limited. We, as citizens of the United States should “help” the Middle East, because as Americans it is our moral obligation and duty to help anyone who is in need. As Martin Luther King said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” In other words, if there is no freedom in one country, there will be no freedom in any country. It is important that we should help the
Middle East because we can promote women’s rights, freedom of speech and the freedom of press.
Today, many Middle Eastern civilians have been killed because of their civil disobedience. Some Middle Eastern women have been shot, stabbed and beaten because of their activism. As Americans we can not allow this issue to continue any further; now is the time that we must take action. It is important that we should help the
Middle East because we could save many lives. Our first task it is to help Middle Eastern countries establish constitutions that promote equal rights for each citizen. Thus, if we help the Middle Eastern countries establish a democratic form of government, we can then begin to guarantee each individual citizen their rights.
It is clear that as Americans, we should help the
Middle East. It is our concern that when our fellow countries are limited in freedom we must step in and lend a hand. It is vitally important that we must help the
Middle East because if we just sit here and don’t do anything, the rights of people in the
Middle East will remain limited. Furthermore, we can set an example for other countries to follow by promoting welfare throughout other countries. Like Bob Moawad, CEO of Edge Learning Institute said, “You can’t make footprints in the sands of time by sitting in your butt. And who wants to leave buttprints in the sand of time?”

Good write I agree with you
I bet when you think of "Middle Eastern women being oppressed", you think of Saudia Arabia. There are many other countries in the Middle East. Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Qatar, United Arab Emirates. There places excercise more female freedom than we do in America. I know this from first-hand experience.
In fact, let us use an English/American example.
In England, who was allowed to own property? Men. Only men.
When the pigrims migrated to America, they decided to make new rules. Thomas Jefferson considered giving woman the right to inherit property, etc from the Quran, which he had in his library, which is notably one of the largest libraries known to man. He obtained this Quran in 1751. The Declaration of Indepence was instated 1776. I believe there was some influence.
The Muslim women are not FORCED to wear te headscarf. They -choose- to.
Saudia Arabia is ridiculous, but you're not going to change that. They will do that among themselves, and don't you worry - they are slowly breaking free of their ridiculous rule for no women driving, and the like. Again, trust me, I know this first-hand.
In America, we only hear about the poor Saudi women that get beat for some strange reason. What about the domestic violence in USA? You can't help others before you help yourself. Not ALL of them are abused, though no one else would know that, seeing as Middle East news is always only negative.
The "weird punishments" are only as result of the media not providing sufficient amounts of information about the reasoning behind, and the culture. You would not go to an African tribe that wears rings around their necks and tell them they need to stop because you think it's weird.
