Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Why the Arabs Don't Want Us in Syria
Politico Magazine, 2016
What's inside?
The current crisis in Syria might actually be an oil war disguised as a humanitarian conflict.
Recommendation
Without mincing words, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. – the nephew of former US president John F. Kennedy – says it straight: The current conflict in Syria is a war for oil. Drawing on information from the Bruce-Lovett Report – a 1957 secret investigation into the CIA’s “active meddling” in the Arab world, the author provides a detailed overview of clandestine US involvement in the Middle East since 1949. While always politically neutral, getAbstract recommends this detailed, historical analysis to all those seeking insight into a contentious region.
