Syria: A Warning

Barraclough, Geoffrey | September 14, 1957 issue

Syria has disappeared from the news as rapidly as it caught the headlines, shouldered aside to make room for hair-raising stories of Russia's intercontinental rocket. But that is not the whole story. If events in Syria had been just one more incident in the rough-and- tumble of Arab politics, one could forget them with impunity. But at the beginning of the present year the U.S. jumped into the Middle East with both feet, and that is what makes the difference. Jordan and Syria were only the first two rounds in the struggle that began with the Doctrine of the U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the question now is, what is next.
