Current Events 

Choose a current topic—event, issue, or condition—impacting U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East, and draft a quality 5–7-page research paper providing a concise but thorough analysis of its impact on U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East. The key is to identify a narrow event, issue, or condition. Remember, your challenge is to relate the topic to its relevance for USFP. The paper must be in current Turabian style with default margins and 12-pt Times New Roman font, and submitted in an MS Word document. The paper must include a title page and reference page also in current Turabian format. You must include citations to a sufficient number of appropriate scholarly sources to fully support your assertions and conclusions (which will likely require more than the minimum number of citations); the paper must contain at least 3–5 scholarly sources original to this paper and not including the course textbook.
