Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - July 19, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky intervention in Lebanon in the new warfare new weapons Are used which have the nature of a siege and yet which do not at All resemble a weapon of War. For instance Iraq has for years been the most stable of Arab nations. Why the sudden explosion Why was the mass uprising so brutal two weapons were employed by both soviet Russia and Nasser propaganda for the masses on the superiority of the arabs the wickedness of the West and the horrors of american imperialism and race hatred subversion by corruption particularly among the armed forces and the intellectuals who Are poorly paid and therefore envious of those who have become millionaires through Oil. The intellectual in All countries is a social problem because no one has Ever worked of a system of parity for them. Too in a revolution the question of timing is always important. The iraqi revolution was designed to accomplish three immediate results i to kill off the Summit conference of Baghdad nations at Istanbul Winch was to take place the very Day that the revolt occurred 2. To give added strength to the syrians lighting in Lebanon As lebanese in revolt an obvious fiction 3. To take out of Tho Baghdad pact tile Only Arab nation in it. It is necessary for Nasser to continue to win victories this is True of every Empire builder and is unessential weakness of his position. Lebanon a capacity to resist Nasser s penetration through Syria must have startled the entire Arab world As Lebanon is a very Small country possesses few resources but Lebanon is an exception among Arab countries in that about half of its population is Christian and resistant to soviet influence at any rate i Chain n did resist and thereby upset the Arab Appl Ecart. The revolution in Iraq had to be rushed to make Lebanon helpless before the United states could intervene. The realistic objection to american intervention is that it is impossible tor anyone to know what it will Lead to. Too Turkey is never to be forgotten. It is the most irreconcilable anti soviet country on Earth not Only ideologically but because for about 250 years Russia and Turkey have been at enmity partly As a result of which the great Empire of the Osmanli turks one of the largest in history was destroyed. What Nasser is trying to do us to restore the turkish Empire in arabic speaking countries into a Unity with himself As the supreme Sovereign. Turkey will get into this situation if it. Can As an excellent Means of saving herself from soviet penetration into Turkey and from the partially soviet inspired cypriot cd i version which has become so bothersome in the relations Between greece1 and the nato Powers. It was the struggle Over Cyprus which broke up the Balkan Alliance of Yugoslavia Greece and Turkey a regional grouping that might have been very useful at the present time. Too another country to watch in this situation is Israel which nearly landed Nasser on the ropes in the Sinai War assisted by great Britain and France. Nasser was saved by the United states one of tile most idiotic acts in recent history. Tin1 betrayal of american allies in the Suez situation was a bitter blow to them but it was More costly to the United states because it gave an american Sanction to Nasser s imperialism. The recent dealings Between Nasser and a group of american Bankers also seem to have encouraged him not. Only to flout the United states but to push Forward his imperialistic designs. This is a natural response to a Craven attitude by one who accepts dictatorship As a prerogative o o a Israel faces a life and death struggle. Had Lebanon fallen prey to Nasser Israel would have been next on the program. The geography of the situation requires it for then Egypt and Syria would be United by land As Well As in the air. Then would follow Jordan Iraq and saudi Arabia. Saudi arabian revolt of some months ago has not worked nut tick Well for Nasser. Nothing particularly important has happened. However if Iraq Falls. Israel is in danger and the territory of isl a of could be absorbed by Syria if Jordan remained obdurate by anti Nasser. This is How the situation shaped up at the moment that the United states intervened in Lebanon. A copyright 1958. King features Syndicate. Inc vol. 80, no. Igo it.
