sponsored military alliance in the region, the Baghdad Pact. In 1955 the Baghdad Pact was formed among Turkey, Iraq, Pakistan, and Great Britain, with the United States as an unofficial partner, to cover the southern border of the Soviet Union with the Middle East. Eisenhower's Baghdad Pact, Nixon's "twin pillars", and Reagan's "strategic consensus" all depended on dubious monarchs (Iraq's weak Hashemites, Iran's bombastic shah, the egregious Saudis) and ugly authoritarians (such as the Mubarak regime in Egypt today). |
