I dont see any "irrivocable" harm done..." Signaling" a decline that was already a fact is hardly to be concidered causing irrevocable harm. Re Nasser ," and kept the Arab world there with him"...... That must be why the richer arab countries invested so much of their oil revenues on the us stock market . ps Nasser can hardly be concidered to have "kept the arab world with him".....he did have ambitions of a pan arab nation.....but what happen to them.....?They came to nothing. My argument with you is your all encompacing hyperbole...You have made exagerations that undermine the valilidity of any point you might be trying to make en.wikipedia.org PS I do very much respect your opinions.

USA supporting Osama et al against Gorby, and Nasser against Britain and France. Mohamed Atta wasn't English as far as I know. Richard Reid was English [in a manner of speaking]. <After retiring from office Eisenhower came to see the Suez Crisis as perhaps his biggest foreign policy mistake. Not only did he feel that the United States weakened two crucial European Cold War allies but he created in Nasser a man capable of dominating the Arab world. > What is it with the USA? I believe a lot of US$ are held overseas and China perhaps has a stash of them. Interesting: <Part of the pressure that the United States used against Britain was financial, as President Eisenhower threatened to sell the United States reserves of the British pound and thereby precipitate a collapse of the British currency. After Saudi Arabia started an oil embargo against Britain and France, the U.S. refused to fill the gap, until Britain and France agreed to a rapid withdrawal > Mqurice
