D9HW5 Cluster

I've ragging for awhile on the complexity of the issue I'm dealing with. Now, once again, it has become apparant to me. I've divided my paper into several sections in order to attempt to answer my research question. As I began listing the applicable areas of my research to each one I realized that pretty much every area applied to every section. An international situation like this consists of thousands of factors all interwoven together to create our present day reality. Just a few changes in the weave can have an astounding effect on the reality. As a result as I clustered the information I found that it was hard to pindown just particular areas to use to answer my various questions. I found that the conclusions I was reaching were the result of the combination of my aquired knowledge on the subject. A big theme in my conclusions was simply looking at international politics. I looked at past actions by the U.S., Iran, and the rest of international community and from those made a good deal of my guesses as to what their future actions would be. I also looked into the reasons for their past decisions and from those decided on some ideas as to what could be changed to positively influence their future decisions. Another difficulty that I found was fitting in opposing arguments. I've looked at alot of opposing arguments in my research. The problem I think is that these arguments were on smaller issues and since what I'm doing is pulling together all these small issues to get a look at the big one I'm leaving alot of these arguments in the dust. I'm going to have to take special care throughout my paper to refer to opposing viewpoints wherever I can.
