Description
The Middle East has been a center of turmoil for U.S. presidents since the end of World War II. Presidents Eisenhower, Johnson, Nixon, and Reagan have had to deal with wars in the region. President George W. Bush started an unnecessary war with Iraq that has left the region in even greater turmoil. President Biden is now contending with the problems of the region, which offer no real benefits for U.S. national security interests.
