Vacuum in the Middle East Drives U S Policy Debate
James Marlow argues that Washington lacks a clear plan to fill the Middle East vacuum left by Britain and France. He critiques Dulles handling of Nasser, Suez and colonialism, urging the United States, Britain, and France to present a unified stance rather than cede influence to Russia. He cites Egypt, the canal crisis, and postwar decolonization as evidence of failed strategy and calls for a rallying point for newly freed peoples.
