    The magazine "Foreign Policy" published an article by American researcher Stephen Walt, talking about the decline of the United States' global authority and its impact. 
    The Harvard scholar begins by referring to the famous Washington Post columnist David Ignatius about the intended or unintended consequences when American power is absent from the world, especially in the Middle East, where Ignatius struck two examples, namely the dispute between Saudi Arabia Canada, and the crisis with Turkey, saying that when America disengages from the world, it drives local players to strengthen their positions and make bad decisions in the absence of American evidence. Any potential for positive change in the region, that is, the Middle East, is far away and we must prepare ourselves for the worst.
    "What Ignatius wrote is beautiful and worth reading, but it is revealing at the same time, because it is based on the importance of trust in America, and that American foreign policy has been doing good," says Walt in his article. , But those who follow US policy, especially in the Middle East and other areas, it discovers that the situation is different, and that no one wants to defend to death from the American position.
    "It's easy to understand why the American elite has the influence, which was not easy to avoid. The United States remains a major force in the international system. International players must pay attention to what Uncle Sam will say. This means that foreign governments will listen to your calls and respect you when you visit them, carry out your advice, or at least pretend to follow your advice. If your work is foreign policy, it is better to be representative of the United States than to try to represent A small state is weak or no voice. "
    "Influence is a means to an end, not an end in itself, and the wide effect is not good, especially if you do not know what to do or if what you do is wrong, or you end up burdened with responsibility for mistakes lacking wisdom," Walt said. All of it leads to the Middle East, where the American influence is apparently fading - what is the US record there in the past? "
    "The American influence has been positive throughout the Cold War. The US influence has been limited. The United States has supported a number of allies for a range of political, strategic and domestic reasons. It has worked to determine the Soviet role in the region, to ensure the flow of oil and natural gas to world markets, Until 1991, in the Gulf War, Washington did not send its forces to the ground, or its air forces for a long time, or fought costly wars, relying instead on diplomacy, intelligence cooperation and external support, and generally played the role of external balance. Relying on local allies, leaving its forces far away, and even changing positions in one or two situations, when conditions dictated by it. Overall, the US strategy was not complete, but its approach worked. "
    "The role of the United States in the region - despite its greatness - has remained negative and complete. Despite the fact that the democratic and republican administrations have influence, they have mismanaged the peace process that resulted from the Oslo process, The two countries are dead by 2018. In addition, unconditional US support for its multiple proxies in the region has helped the rise of groups like al Qaeda. Clinton's policy of "dual containment" in 1998 has diverted Osama bin Laden's attention from his closest enemies Saud) to the farthest enemy, the first Yat United, has led to 9/11 attacks. "
    The George W. Bush administration decided after the September attacks that it needed more influence in the region and tried to start a democratic transition by overthrowing Saddam Hussein and establishing a pro-Washington democratic government in Iraq. Wrong to increase the Iranian influence, the waste of several trillions of dollars, the loss of thousands of soldiers, and led to distracting two administrations from the major tasks, and hit the prestige of America, and strikingly, the Obama administration repeated the same mistakes, albeit on a smaller base, through The overthrow of Muammar al-Qadhaf J, although she did not know what would happen next. "
    Walt notes that "the international war on terror has brought the United States to Somalia and Yemen with deadly effects, using the remaining influence to support the harsh Saudi military campaign in Yemen, taking responsibility for the worst humanitarian disaster in the world, The US on Egypt to turn to democracy after the overthrow of Hosni Mubarak, and then how America supported the tactical coup that overthrew Mohamed Morsi, and now turned a blind eye to the repression and corruption in Egypt. 
    The researcher says: "I have spent a lot of time talking, but the point to be made is that America had a lot of influence in this period, but it is difficult to say that it exercised this influence wisely and successfully, and the Republican and democratic administrations are responsible for these defeats, A clear example of the remaining party in polarized politics. "
    Walt understands the concern of the foreign policy elite about the decline in American influence. "It may be bad in some circumstances, but we have to recognize that the impact is not enough in itself, and it has negative effects. The excessive American influence leads to tasks that we do not know how to do, (Such as building effective political institutions in radically different societies), allowing local actors to blame us for their failure, and drawing the attention of US officials to the problems they can solve. In areas, the Middle East on top of it, perhaps the US influence is very low, The success that we are trying to manage all, perhaps Ka It's better to let others try, and they will not be worse off. "
    "Moving towards this goal requires a change in the mentality of America's foreign policy elite. For a long time, its members have believed that America is an indispensable nation and that the solution to all the problems of the world, or at least most of them, must be decided by Washington." 
    "Management students study that effective leadership must delegate responsibility, because no one person has the knowledge, authority and wisdom to solve all problems, and what applies to individuals applies to leading people. Learning to solve problems for others is a skill that needs effort. They deal with influence as an inherent end, and a source that must be preserved as gold. We will find ourselves more committed and less effective than we want. As President Harry Truman said: "It is amazing how much you will achieve if you do not care who gets honor."
    "Americans have to worry less about the level of influence their country has had, and worry more about the impact that has been used. If US officials can set a set of goals, they will find that their influence has increased, and the problems they will face, Rather than increasing it. "
