	Middle America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Middle America is an American colloquialism used—in contrast to "coastal America"—to describe a region of the United States that, geographically, comprises the bulk of the nation.
		Geographically, the label "Middle America" refers to the territory between the East (particularly the Northeast) and West coasts of the United States, and may refer to the inland portions of coastal states, especially if they are rural.
		"Middle America" can also be used as more of a cultural than a geographical label, suggesting a small town or suburb where most people are middle class and White, and is often caricatured in the same way as is the American 1950s decade.

		Of the millions of people who came to the United States following the resumption of large-scale immigration in the last third of the twentieth century, a few were refugees from political or religious persecution.
		What makes the United States and similar societies middle-class is the economic predominance of the middling sort, no matter what their major source of employment happens to be.
		Unlike the factory workers in those states, the rural majority in the South and the West did not share in the income gains from industrialization; tariffs were, in effect, a tax imposed on them to subsidize urban workers and capitalists.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The United States of America

	The Nuclearization of Iran: America’s Responses
		America’s current policies, which encourage the collapse of the Islamic regime may be unrealistic, and may prove dangerous to moderate forces within Iran.
		America, in the process, must be sensitive to Iran’s desire to produce a light water, civil nuclear infrastructure, which does not use the fissionable form of the uranium isotope, so it cannot be transformed into weapons grade material.
		Although the United States possesses a very powerful and credible, second-strike nuclear capability, there has been some fear among American policymakers that this deterrent factor, which was successfully upheld throughout the Cold War, may not be enough to prevent an irrational "rogue" nation from sending a nuclear missile across the ocean into the U.S. heartland.

	PINR - Why the United States Supports the State of Israel
		The state of Israel is an isolated country heavily dependent on the United States for its survival.
		To keep these states dependent, it is imperative that no Middle Eastern country accrue enough power to be able to shake off their dependency on the West and to practice a foreign policy that exploits the desperate need for oil by the dependent consumers.
		This reality is what allows the United States to overlook its harsh measures when it confronts the terror tactics used by its rebellious Palestinian population, in addition to overlooking its settlements in the disputed territories of the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Golan Heights.

	USCFL- Is America’s Middle East Foreign Policy Good For America?
		America's Middle East policy, formulated and directed by the U.S. State Department, is a recognized failure.
		From Harry Truman to George W. Bush, American presidents had been willing to defend what they perceived to be United States interests in the Middle East-containing the Soviet Union, protecting access to oil resources, and maintaining the security of Israel-by using American power and risking their own domestic political capital.
		However, that should not be done at the expense of having the rogue states; namely Iraq, Iran and Syria dictate their agendas to the weaker nations of the region.
