There was already wide spread resentment against the colonial powers in the 1920s "Outbreaks of violence against the new masters(england and france)occured in almost all arab countries and demonstrated that a simple policy of direct rule was unworkable.Instead the mandatory powers sought to achieve their purposes by indirect rule through Arab governments.To these they proposes to conceed some degree of independance,and at the same timeto sign treaties with them safeguarding their own privilaged position,including the right to maintain armed forces on the national territory."from "The Middle East"by Bernard Lewis.
America has merely stepped into england shoes.

It should also be remembered that the russians started massive financial and military aid programs in the 60s that gave the arabs the wherewithall to challenge western domination.
