The Syrian
civil war has created chaos throughout the Middle East, given rise to
an unprecedented refugee crisis, and helped fuel terrorism
internationally.
Award-winning
investigative journalist Seymour Hersh predicted many of these events
nine years ago in a detailed report for The New Yorker and warned
that the United States and its allies in Israel and Saudi Arabia were
helping to foment the unrest. Hersh began:
“In the
past few months, as the situation in Iraq has deteriorated, the Bush
Administration, in both its public diplomacy and its covert
operations, has significantly shifted its Middle East strategy. The
‘redirection,’ as some inside the White House have called the new
strategy, has brought the United States closer to an open
confrontation with Iran and, in parts of the region, propelled it
into a widening sectarian conflict between Shiite and Sunni Muslims.”
