The conjuncture of events in Greece, Turkey and Iran, all of them indicating great social instability, is strikingly significant. For they are precisely the three countries in which the cold war began in 1946 and 1947. It was in Iran in 1945-46 that the United States first perfected its get tough policy and helped to force the Russians out; and it was in Greece and Turkey in 1947 that the United States charted its commitment to an anti-Communist Europe in its first military-aid crash program, the Truman Doctrine. Now, sixteen years after that intervention, the Greek government planned a monument for former U.S. President Harry S. Truman, showing him, several times life-size, holding his great charter in his hand.
