• CIA overthrows popular government of Iran, restoring monarchy.
• Islamic revolution deposes Shah.
• Hostage crisis aids election of Ronald Reagan
• Eight lost years
• Election of G.H.W Bush
• Iraq invades Kuwait.
• First Gulf War
• Afghan war
• Second Gulf War
• Relations with Pakistan weaken.
• Iraq’s museums looted
• No WMDs found.
• Short, inexpensive wars turn out to be long and expensive.
• Election of Donald J. Trump who criticizes past policy, promises to end foreign wars.
• Putin has Trump’s ear; NATO, Canada and European allies disparaged.
• Rise and suppression of ISIS with help of Kurds.
• America repudiates nuclear agreement with Iran
• Saudis use American military as mercenaries
• Assad and Russia triumph in Syria
• Turks and Russians turn on Kurds abandoned again by the United States.

Prospects for peace  and justice remain unchanged–poor at best.
