Conflicts

As of now, most of us probably now of one conflict going on in the world, Iraq. However, expand your eyes a little more and you will see that conflicts are all over the world! Iraq is only one of the many. What interested me, when I saw this map, was that all the conflicts were occuring in the Eastren Hemisphere. If you look at it, not a single red blotch touches the west. So why all the hating in the East? Perhaps the "civilized" powers of the U.S. and Canada have been able to soothe the ruffled feathers of Latin American conflicts. Why is it that the East has so much conflicts?

For the most part I've read many things and heard many people talk of the many religious conflicts that happen in the Middle East. It's clearly religion that is creating holy conflicts in the Middle East. For example, the Sunni Muslims and Shitte's are two types of Islam but they are currently at war with each other. Not to mention Saddam's former government vs. the Kurds, and Palestine vs. Israel. People in the Middle East base to much importance upon their religion and take it to the extreme and that is why we see so many conflicts over there I believe.
