In a nutshell don’t expect much improvement and four years later, we can say, we didn’t much… there was no overall improvement. Not only that but that the next four years until now the Middle East would continue to experience little more than war, violence, racism and xenophobia.
Four years later every U.S. led (or orchestrated) attempt at regime change has failed; there are uprisings against the U.S. military presence and U.S policy throughout the region and U.S. influence as a hegemonic power in the region has tanked as never before.
Where is U.S. Middle East foreign policy today headed? A new renaissance? or further down the tubes?
As a part of this we’ll probe the role of Turkey, which has emerged – along with traditional U.S. allies of Israel, Saudi Arabia and Egypt as a key regional player in Syria, Libya and now in Central Asia… Although wherever it turns, the limits of its power and influence are exposed once again.
