Criticism of U.S. Policies
June 18th, 2008 by Adam
Rami Khouri over at the Daily Star says that criticism towards America in the region is primarily the result of U.S. policies rather than envy since its policies have been spectacular failures and created more instability. The incoherence of American democracy promotion has setback political reform and has made the ability of reformers extremely difficult. In a condemnatory fashion, Khouri concludes, “People in the region notice, and they react critically when a major power helps to make their societies increasingly violent and dysfunctional, adding fuel to the fire of the Middle East’s own intemperate statehood and mediocre governance systems.”
