THE MIDDLE EAST
Jesse M. Hendley
II Peter 1:19
The hot spot in this dangerous world! News---The
threat of war has erupted again in the MIDDLE EAST!
The cameras of the world are focused on the activities
in this part of the world. Every newscast makes it the
foremost item! Why? Because IRAQ, under the leadership
of Saddam Hussein, has invaded Kuwait and has

"The Response"
At this writing our nation is flooding Saudi Arabia

Sanctions have been imposed by the United Nations,
condemning this invasion. Soldiers and fighting

remembering the hostage crisis under President Carter.
Here at home the picture of husbands, mothers, wives,
and children bidding farewell to their soldier loved
ones is an agony to behold. Every thoughtful American
with peoples of many nations are greatly concerned
with the fact that any moment war may break out in the
Middle East, a war whose duration and horror none can
foretell.
“Why?”
Why this crisis? Why should Iraq's invasion of little
Kuwait upset the whole world? The answer is one word
"Oil." Oil means energy---energy that keeps the
nations of earth going. Oil is a major part of the
lifeblood of the peoples of the world. Kuwait is rich
in oil. Iraq has taken over that country. Saudi Arabia
has some of the richest oil fie ...
