Answer:
Religion and how it is perceived plays an important role in conflicts throughout the Middle East.
Explanation:
Long-drawn historical battle between the two sections of Islamic followers (Sunni and Shiite) took an ugly turn when ISIS, a very fundamentalist and militant Sunni group, has murdered thousands of Shiite minorities and others outside the Islamic faith. This led to the Shiite conflict with the Sunni headed nations.
Secondly, the political conflict between Israel and Palestine also falls on the religious line, the reason being the conflict between Arabs and Jews.
Expecting war, and seeing an opportunity in the forward basing of the U.S. Pacific Fleet in Hawaii, the Japanese began planning in early 1941 for an attack on Pearl Harbor. First, the Pacific Fleet was a formidable force, and would not be easy to defeat or to surprise.
No America (the US) is unusual in history. It's continent wide size, natural resources, and great distance from other continents means it doesn't have to rely on anyone. US allies, NATO, UN, etc. are just political conveniences, to promote US trade and world stability and peace.
If all US allies disappeared tomorrow, no one in the US would notice.
This 'has' happened before in history when the US practiced 'isolationism' and shut itself off from the rest of the world.
America's allies only benefit the allies and to some extent US business, America doesn't need the allies, but America does need world peace and stability....and that means allies.
