Osamah F. Khalil. America’s Dream Palace
The context for Salim Yaqub’s Imperfect Strangers: Americans, Arabs, and U.S.–Middle East Relations in the 1970s is U.S. engagement with the Arab world during a period bracketed by two calamities: Robert F. Kennedy’s assassination by a Palestinian in June 1968; and the massacre of Palestinians by the Falange at Sabra and Shatila in September 1982, for which Israel bore indirect responsibility. It is Yaqub’s argument, which his book carefully docu…

The Great Game, and the Vision Thing
Developments in the Middle East and Southwest Asia after the events of September 11, 2001, suggest that the historical geopolitical imperatives driving United States policy in the region since World War II continue to be salient. The context in which the United States is now operating, however, is fundamentally different from the zero-sum rivalry between great powers that characterized the Cold War. In the postCold War/post-9/11 world, the “great…

Contingency Plans, Intelligence, Vital Interests, and Reality
Allied contingency plans for the Middle East during the first decade of the Cold War, Michael Cohen observes in the conclusion to his book, in retrospect “appear as little short of a farce! With the wisdom of hindsight, one might ask what was the point of it all? Did the planners not realize how far their drawing-board schemes were removed from reality?” After raising these rhetorical questions, Cohen then ticks off elements of the “reality” from…
Sovereignty, democracy and identity
Turkey's perception of itself as a major power has been fed by the collapse of the Soviet Union and by the resentment caused by its failure to become a member of the European Union. Islamism is, however, a response to government ineptitude and incompetence and the major domestic problem Turkey faces relates to the Kurdish ethnic minority. The majority of Kurds do not seek an independent state but are increasingly alienated by the Turkish governme…

There you go again? Gary Sick, Ronald Reagan, and the Iranian revolution
Gary Sick's latest book, October Surprise, has been frequently cited, less widely read, guardedly praised and savagely criticized in the last year, during which it has also led to two ongoing Congressional investigations. Such a book was undoubtedly the farthest thing from his mind when he retired from distinguished service with the U.S. Navy and began to write his first book, All Fall Down. First published in 1985 (it was republished in 1986 wit…

The Carter Doctrine, the Reagan Corollary, and Prospects for United States Policy in Southwest Asia
When the Carter Doctrine was enunciated in January 1980, the United States was still reeling from a series of blows to its strategic position in Southwest Asia.1 In February 1979, the shah of Iran had been overthrown; subsequent relations with his successors, troubled by the legacy of United States support for the shah, were increasingly complicated by the ongoing revolution in Iran and, after November 1979, by the frustrating interaction between…
