Week 3: If you were a US official in the Middle East in the late-1960s and early-1970s, what kind of strategies would you adopt to decrease the influence of Pan-Arabism? What would be possible challenges? [Jul 19 at 11:59pm]

I prefer a laissez-faire policy in working with Arabian countries. The US foreign policy in the late-1960s and 1970s was to intervene more than necessary in many events in Middle East to gain influences from the Soviet Unions. Unfortunately, the intervention leaded to the increase of Pan-Arabism.

The possible challenges of the do-nothing policy could be the protests of the pro-war and anti-communist persons.

Explanation:

Pan-Arabism is the increase of nationalism among Arab states on the purpose of unity creation against the growth of Western influence.
