The Middle East and ChinaThe Middle East and China
China remains cautious about the Middle East even as an energy source. West Asia and North Africa have received much less Chinese investment than their energy resources would justify. The relatively low level of Chinese commitment is, in part, a reflection of the fact that national oil companies like Saudi Aramco (from which China buys a fifth of all the oil it imports) have no need of foreign partners and offer them no significant openings to invest except in refineries dedicated to importing their oil. Africa and South America have proven both more hospitable and easier for Chinese companies to understand. But China’s attention deficit when it comes to the Middle East also reflects misgivings about the region.

U.S. Anti-ISIS StrategyOpinion: The Growing Danger of Mission Creep against the Islamic State
The shield between 400 American trainers and IS forces is composed of Iraqi police and troops, both with an iffy track record against determined IS assaults.

Nor does the answer lie in the realm of faith. Many volunteers for terrorist groups have little knowledge of religion. Indeed, their lack of religious knowledge makes them easy prey for recruiters who don the mantle of religious authority.

U.S. - IsraelOpinion: A perfect storm brews in the Middle East
An initial report Sunday by Israel’s Channel 2 news that the administration had cut all communications with Israel about the Iran talks was denied by White House spokesman Alistair Baskey. Sources here said that Philip Gordon, the Middle East director for President Obama’s National Security Council, would see Israeli national security adviser Yossi Cohen and other senior officials on Monday. The discussion would include Iran policy, but U.S. officials aren’t likely to share the latest information about U.S. strategy in the talks.

VolunteerismSaudis on a mission
One such group is the Roads Knights, which is made up of more than 300 Saudi guys from all over Saudi Arabia. Their mission is to hit the highways and provide repair services to vehicles that break down in the middle of nowhere. This is not new. Abdul Raouf Nasher, the group’s founder, originated the idea in Riyadh last year and has since spread to many of the metropolitan areas of the Kingdom. More recently, however, the Roads Knights are serving the highway between Jeddah and Makkah, a particularly grueling drive where vehicles often break down or accidents occur due to sleepy or inattentive drivers.
