What responsibility does the U.S. have for the long-term consequences of its interventions in the current despicable state of the arab world?
- In 1949, the CIA backed a coup that overthrew Syria’s democratically elected government, marking the first U.S.-engineered regime change in the Arab world.
- In 1948, the United States strongly supported the creation of Israel and the ethnic cleansing of palestinians , becoming the first country to recognize it, a move that reshaped regional dynamics.
- During the 1980s, the U.S. funded and armed Afghan mujahideen—some of whom would later form al-Qaeda—as part of its Cold War strategy against the Soviet Union.
- In Egypt, the U.S. engaged with and tolerated the Muslim Brotherhood during the Cold War to counter pan-Arab nationalism, particularly the influence of Nasser.
-In 1953, the CIA orchestrated a coup in Iran, toppling democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh and reinstating the Shah, whose regime became increasingly repressive.
-The U.S. has long supported authoritarian regimes in the Arab world—notably Saudi Arabia—prioritizing strategic and economic interests over democratic values.
-In Iraq, the U.S. supported coups, backed Saddam Hussein during the 1980s, imposed crippling sanctions in the 1990s, and invaded in 2003 based on false claims, resulting in massive civilian suffering and long-term instability.
