God, is everything America's fault?
How convenient that the author focuses on one American intervention, as if they were the first. Nothing of the Turks, the French? They conquered and ruled the area for (combined) centuries, but no - it's the Evil American Capitalists and their one short intervention to blame.
And who's to say that Za'im wouldn't have launched a coup in absence of American suggestion?

- Apocryphon 13y agoThey certainly share blame, too, but they're not the ones who have the capability to unilaterally decide whether intervention should go or not at this point.
