Dekom takes listeners on a personal and historical journey through U.S. missteps in the Middle East. From installing the Shah of Iran, to backing brutal dictators in the name of anti-communism, to the wars in Iraq. He explains the Sunni–Shia divide, the rise of Hezbollah and Hamas, and how decades of short-sighted policy left a fractured, unstable region. Peter is connecting the dots between past blunders and today’s conflicts.
