Kameelyun, et al, how does the Suez Crisis of 1956 fit into this worldview? Happening only years after the 1953 Iran situation, it involved many of the same situations you list, yet the US response was to let Egypt nationalize the canal (by way of not supporting Britain, France and Israel). Why one and not the other?
