I've Been Thinking:

I was surprised to hear the former intel minister of Saudi Arabia, Prince Turki al-Faisal, publicly critique the United States and US policy in the Middle East.

The prince’s critique was not a private, off-the-record, critique intended for insiders. His remarks were made at an event sponsored by the Atlantic Council.
Prince Turki al-Faisal said that United States influence in the Middle East was stuck in “strategic confusion.”

He said: "The United States was the dominant power for the last seven decades.
Therefore, doubts about its role and commitments to preserve regional security are accumulating and resulting in a continued strategic regional confusion, which leads to more conflicts and crises …No region in the world fears the danger of this strategic confusion more than the Middle East region."

I fear that the prince is correct.

The confusion displayed by the United States in their foreign affairs decisions is causing tremendous global uncertainty – particularly in the Middle East. That uncertainty will translate into empowering the dark forces of the Middle East, forces that, for decades, had been held at bay by the United States.

But no more.
