Section A: Reaction to Documentary, (Please watch this documentary, Why We Fight).

Reflect on these questions:

What do you think about this documentary? Were you aware that Saddam Hussein was once supported by the CIA and considered a friend? Also, did you know that the CIA trained Osama Bin Laden? These are interesting facts, right? But what do they tell us about how the United States interacts in the Middle East?

Were you surprised to learn that we have been involved in removing and even assassinating foreign leaders? Why would our country do this? The Cold War seems to intensify everything that started during the Spanish-American-Cuban-Filipino War (we'll explore this further in a future assignment). We see a pattern of getting involved in country after country-what do you think is the purpose behind this? What important life lessons can we take away from these historical events?
