	Learn about Morocco history
		Morocco’s history is usually lumped together with that of the rest of its neighboring countries.
		Arab invaders who introduced the religion to the people of Morocco were not warmly received by the Berbers, and social and religious uprisings ensued, successfully ridding the land of the Arab governors.
		Settling in Morocco, the Jews and Moors (and Spaniards who refused to convert to Christianity and were thus expulsed as well) combined their varied ethnic and cultural backgrounds.

		Morocco, officially the Kingdom of Morocco (Arabic: المملكة المغربية), is a country in North Africa with a population of 33,241,259.
		What became modern Morocco in the seventh century, was the area influenced by the Arabs, who brought their customs, culture, and Islam, to which most of the Berbers converted, forming states and kingdoms such as the Kingdom of Nekor and Barghawata, sometimes after long-running series of civil wars.
		Morocco's history after independence and in the beginning of the reign of Hassan II was marked by the period of political tensions between the monarchy and opposition parties.

		Morocco is also an ally but one whose population won't turf out the government in the next election (there won't be any elections in the way that we understand them).
		Morocco just signed a free trade agreement with the U.S. Spain is launching the first salvo in a joint trade war with the U.S. Morocco determines it's own trade and foreign policy according to whatever factors appear to be in it's interest.

	Foreign Affairs - Arms for Morocco? - Stephen J. Solarz (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Yet the Western Sahara is the scene of a major four-year-old war for national independence waged by Algerian-backed Polisario Front guerrillas against Morocco and, until recently, Mauritania-a struggle which now threatens to escalate into a large-scale regional and even international conflict.
		In that struggle, an old friend of the United States, the Kingdom of Morocco, seeks American military support for a cause which the overwhelming majority of countries in the world oppose as a contradiction of the very principle of national self-determination.
		At the moment, the Administration's policy toward the Western Sahara appears to be swinging toward a "globalist" approach which emphasizes the implications of the conflict for our reputation as a reliable ally rather than the intrinsic merits of the dispute itself.
