Death of Bin Laden and the New Direction of American Policy
The announcement of Bin Laden’s killing came to serve Obama in the next presidential elections, as it seems that the decision-makers in America want to keep him in office for another term. This aim is indicated by the American administration’s insistence on undertaking the operation single-handedly; Washington mentioned that it executed the operation without the help of the Pakistani army and security services. Also, Obama announced the success of the operation in person and deemed it as one of his major achievements.
The most important aim for America was to change the image of the Muslims and the Arabs in particular after the series of revolutions that had adopted democracy and secularism as a banner and as content. Attributes such as “the cradle of terrorism” and “terrorism production lines” are no longer suitable and conducive for the new approach, which has been meticulously planned for the region to alienate it from its Islam. America chose this timing that coincided with the fall of the German leader Hitler, the icon of Nazism, to herald the new phase of post-terrorism, once its top icon was eliminated, namely the phase of democracy in its quality as the alternative to the police-rule which dominated the region for decades and which was sponsored by the West and whose presence in the current format impedes the region’s adherence to the Western values in their new cloak.

America’s Objective Behind Jordan Joining the GCC
The request of Jordan to join the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which was welcomed by the member states, and the request made by the GCC to Morocco to join the Council and which was turned down by Rabat under the pretext of preferring to revive the Maghreban Union, should not be interpreted as a domestic Jordanian issue nor as a regional Maghreban issue or a Gulf regional issue. It should rather be viewed from the angle of the US foreign policy’s interests, even though it may yield domestic or regional benefits.
It seems that America does not wish to generate changes in the Gulf States and Jordan akin to those in Tunisia and Egypt, i.e. to change the heads of the regimes. America wants to introduce a host of gradual reforms and changes with the current leaders in office for the time being. The changes will occur within a regional body, whereby the cultural divergence between the states would help the entry of the thoughts to the states that suffer from a virtual cultural isolation, which is not easy to change with the imposition of laws and regulations.

Answer to a Question
Question:
We do know that Latin America is in the backyard of the United States and that the Monroe Doctrine is still in force and it includes the two Americas. However, it seems that some of Latin America’s rulers are hostile towards America. They even challenge her and condemn her hegemony and arrogance. Those rulers are spearheaded by Hugo Chavez, who gave the US Ambassador to Caracas 72 hours to leave his country, in a show of solidarity with a similar move undertaken by the Bolivian President Evo Morales. Hence, does Hugo Chavez effectively work towards frustrating the US influence in Latin America and towards luring her leaders? Is he working towards resisting the US meddling in Latin American affairs? Is Hugo Chavez acting independently to protect the acquisitions of his country; or is he sponsored and backed by other forces? Is he an American agent, just like all the other rulers of Latin America or has he succeeded in slipping away from America’s dominion and influence? Could we have the reality of the Venezuelan president, his actions and his policies in Venezuela and in the other countries of Latin America clarified?
