N2  - With a now indefinite American occupation of Iraq, Simons looks at the implications for the region as a whole. He considers the roles played by the disparate power bases both in Iraq and in the key states in the region--including Turkey, Iran, Syria and Israel/Palestine. Simons looks at how these states will potentially respond to a Pax Americana, and what Islamist reactions the new U.S. presence may engender. He also looks at the relevance of the regional oil resource, what roles remain for the UN, and the significance of America's expanding global hegemony.--From publisher description
