Ruling on Behalf of the “National Interest” - A Brief History of US influence in the Gulf

With the release of the recent Wikileaks cables, it is apparent indeed the utter loyalty Arab regimes hold for the American Imperialists. However, understanding these relationships requires an analysis that understands that the Anglo-Empire of our age, was split after World War II into the financialized institutions of the City of London and their Wall Street creations which control global finance through international institutions and the American military which polices the world militarily on behalf of that financialized domination.  In this paper we look at the history of US foreign policy in the Gulf Region generally and analyze how the US took over as imperialist in the region.

Of course, a necessary distinction must be made when discussing America's role in the world... the American system of political economy, the system that built the country is something that was so successful it had  Arab populations desiring US intervention in the region as the World Wars ended. Unfortunately, that system was only meant for Western nations and the US embarked on ushering in the neo-imperialist order we see today. The only platform for Muslims today must be, the absolute removal of all military personnel and bases from majority-Muslim nations, the end of support for Israel and the complete removal of support for the authoritarian regimes. Once this is established then Americans could actually contribute to the world by redeveloping original systems that, while not perfect, did contribute to the advancement of humankind.  This is a distinction between empire (Sykes-Picot versus King-Crane), an important distinction interestingly understood by this political action movement below.


Were Muslims able to rid themselves of the traitors, develop stable Islamic political, social and economic systems and return Americans to their non-interventionist attitudes of years gone by, we can make this planet sing and peace and order can be achieved. Unfortunately, it is apparent the wheels of empire have been thrust forth and the momentum is too fierce to contain. The only other option is to continue to fight therefore to make Allah's Word supreme.
