America and the Last Lifeboat!

The United States isn’t hiding its concern about the dramatic changes occurring in the international arena, changes that weren’t factored into its strategic calculations. Observers think that the most recent Russian-American agreements on Syria are like a lifeboat saving America at the last minute from drowning in the turbulent waters of the Middle East, which have almost devoured the cowboy culture, reversing the situation for American politicians and relieving the world of the most significant and most dangerous imperialist regime known by human history. But the American administration hasn’t learned its lesson. It endeavors to improve its back-end image while continuing to play dirty to maintain a presence, albeit temporarily, in the international arena; a presence through which it can continue with the oppressive policies that it has imposed on the peoples of the region for two decades.

Scheduling Secretary of State John Kerry’s visit to Cairo one day before the trial of deposed president Mohammed Morsi sends more than one signal to the interim Egyptian government. First and foremost, it signals that the United States still clings to its strategic alliance with the Muslim Brotherhood, which is banned in Egypt, due to the agreements that they have. The contents of these agreements, if made public, would cause the scandal of the century for the American administration, especially because the Muslim Brotherhood is considered the primary sponsor of cross-border, international terrorism and the rival brother of al-Qaida, the Saudi-Wahhabi organization.

The American administration has, with its reckless cowboy politics around the world, certainly put itself in a difficult predicament. These policies now find it fighting Islam and its advanced, secular, enlightened thought. At times America allies itself with extremist, fundamentalist Islam, which is represented by the Wahhabi takfiri movements and the Muslim Brotherhood, while at other times it claims to fight terrorism, calling it an enemy of freedom and of America.* Here hides the secret behind the loud voice that rose against the United States from one of the collaborating princes in Saudi Arabia: Having a slave raise its voice against his master is a somewhat strange form of propaganda. When Bandar bin Sultan says that Saudi Arabia will curtail its relations with the United States, he depends on two fundamental things. The first is the secret, dangerous information in his possession, the revealing of which would damage America’s politics and harm its vital interests around the world. The second is the fact that the United States’ interests around the world are tied to the fate of the hereditary regime in Saudi Arabia, especially because Saudi Arabia has frightful numbers of terrorist assets whom it can mobilize against its enemies anywhere, including within the United States itself. Thus, the secretary of state’s visit to Saudi Arabia sends a number of signals:

- Most importantly, it assures Saudi Arabia that the United States continues to depend on the Saudi regime, despite the need for a movement of nominal change within the ruling family that would reduce the severity of the storm blowing in on the winds of the Arab Spring. Saudi Arabia helped mobilize the Arab Spring against the Arab states without realizing its true severity or the size of the impact it would soon have on itself
