of course Iraq, there is Saudi Arabia its been all over the news gee what you blind or did you just not watch t.v. i 'm a kid and i watch the news gee ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe I can give you a better sense of what is going on in the Middle East , although the young fellow who fist answered is kind of right .

The Americana's and coalition troops have been fighting over Iraq as he has mentioned. But this all started over the invasion of Kuwait in the 90's. So the USA went to the gulf to free Kuwait and in doing so had troops mass in the Saudi kingdom as well as Turkey, Qatar and Italy as well as in Iraq it self . So in a sense the Americans have fought or launched attack es from all of the counties mentioned as well as being the main backer for the state if Israel . I don't know if the USA has ever actually fought along side of the Israeli's ( and would not admit to doing so if they did too prevent any more escalation) but have supplied the military equipment , weapons and training to operate things as well as possibly given Israel the nuke's it posses

Why is the middle east called the middle east?

According to an article in Foreign Affairs (Davison, 1960) the term Middle East was popularized by an American naval officer named Alfred Thayer Mahan in 1902, but it might have been used by the British during their years of colonialism in the region. China and Japan for example were considered to be the Far East so the region between the Far East and The West then became the Near East or the Middle East. Although at times in history the Near East denoted the Balkans, it now generally means the Middle East plus Turkey and Iran. The terms Middle East and Near East are eurocentric because they describe a region in relation to Europe or The West. Despite this, the term is now accepted and even people in the Middle East call it that (Al-Sharq Al-Awasat means Middle East in Arabic). The issue of why the Middle East is called the Middle East is an interesting example of how simple geographic names are emeshed in geopolitics and can shift in meaning over time.For a more detailed history read: Roderic H. Davison, "Where is the Middle East?" Foreign Affairs, Vol. 38, p. 665 -675. July 1960
