Machiavelli once wrote that princes should see to it that they are
either respected or feared; what they must avoid at all cost is to be
despised. To have made itself despised as irrelevant: That is the legacy
of US faithlessness and willful blindness in the Middle East.
It is obvious to any idiot out there today that America has long supported dictators, instead of democracies in the Middle East ….. simply because our “economic model” in the region always supported strong men who will ensure that their country always acts as a “client state” and by the same token moves to crush countries which refuse to act as satellites to us. I strongly believe this “godlike” attitude has got to change if we are ever to dream having any presence in the Middle East one day. Why?...Know more
