The only person Henry Kissinger flattered more than President Richard Nixon was Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the shah of Iran. In the early 1970s, the shah, sitting atop an enormous reserve of increasingly expensive oil and a key figure in Nixon and Kissinger's move into the Middle East, wanted to be dealt with as a serious person.

Die einzige Person, die Henry Kissinger mehr schmeichelte als Präsident Richard Nixon, war Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, der Schah des Iran. In den frühen 70er Jahren wollte der Schah, der auf einer enormen Reserve an immer teurerem Öl und einer Schlüsselfigur bei Nixons und Kissingers Einzug in den Nahen Osten saß, als ernsthafte Person behandelt werden.

The revival of the Right is as extraordinary as it would be if the public had demanded dozens of new nuclear plants in the days after the Three Mile Island disaster; if we had reacted to Watergate by making Richard Nixon a national hero.

A little exposure to a city like Sulaimani will help Trump understand that the Middle East is a much more complex place than he seems to believe. Perhaps Trump could even give a speech at the American University in Sulaimani, just as President Obama did at Cairo University early in his first term.
