ABSTRACT

The author reflects on the U.S. attack on the Persian Gulf region. He opines that the U.S. is going to face a lot of problems on military as well as on the political front. He opines that unlike the Vietnam war, this time American people are protesting the war from the very beginning. He comments that even if the governments of Egypt, Turkey and Saudi Arabia side with the U.S. in a post-war arrangement, people of these countries will never regard the U.S. as their friend.
