I was about 8 when we had the Suez Crisis. I decided way back then that the Arab world was insane...and nothing has come about to change my mind.
Not Arabs, mooselimbs.
The Iranians are Persian, but mooselimbs.
See my tag line, but remember, we should save the moderate mooselimbs, both of them.
Suez was at least arguably Egyptian (on Egyptian soil) and
as all could see the days of Empah were numbered. Nasser
took a gamble and Britain and France could not sell another
war to the US or to their voters at home.
And the United States decided to join the Soviets in breaking the back of the Franco-British-Israel operation. Never have understood why Eisenhower made that decision, except that the allies left him out of the loop.
