  1. Regional Conflicts Witness History Audio: Two Peoples Claim the Same Land Arabs and Israelis Fight Over Land Since Israel was established in 1948, the country has fought Arab forces and gained and given back lands belonging to neighboring countries. The PLO has led a struggle to gain homelands for Palestinians, often using suicide bombers. Progress toward peace has been made since prime minister Ariel Sharon launched a plan to withdraw Israeli settlements form Gaza and since Mahmoud Abbas took Yasir Arafat’s place as head of the PLO.

  3. Regional Conflicts Iraq’s Long History of Conflict For centuries, Sunni Arabs held power in Iraq. They repressed the Kurdish minority and the Shiite Arab majority. Iraqi Dictator Saddam Hussein had U.S. support in a war with Iran over territory. When Hussein invaded Kuwait, however, the U.S. and a coalition of other countries sided with Kuwait and drove Iraq out. They also set up no-fly zones in Iraq to protect the Kurds and Shiites. Iraq was forbidden to develop weapons of mass destruction, but would not cooperate with inspectors from the UN. In 2003, U.S.-led coalition forces occupied Iraq and then imprisoned Hussein. Efforts to rebuild the country have been thwarted by guerilla attacks.
