The United States and Syria – A Short Difficult History

An Overview of Syria
by Mustang
When the United States achieved its independence, Syria was part of the Ottoman Empire, and its foreign relations were conducted through the Sultan’s government in Istanbul (Constantinople). In 1922, after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the League of Nations approved a French Mandate for Syria and Lebanon, which gave France exclusive control over their foreign relations.
The United States appointed George Wadsworth as “Agent and Consul General” in 1942 to provide a quasi-diplomatic presence in Damascus until the United States determined whether Syria achieved its complete independence (1944).
The United States recognized Syria as an independent state in September 1944 after the Syrian Minister of Foreign Affairs (Jamil Mardam Bey) certified that Syria would protect the rights of the United States and its nationals.
In February 1958, Egypt and Syria united to form a new state, the United Arab Republic (UAR). The United States recognized the UAR in February 1958. Syria seceded from the UAR three years later and reestablished the independent Syrian Arab Republic. The United States recognized Syria on October 10, 1961.
Syria severed diplomatic relations with the United States in the wake of the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. In the place of normalized diplomatic relations, the United States established a U.S. Interests Section in February 1974, an adjunct of the Italian Embassy/Syria, and in June of that year, diplomatic relations and the American Embassy in Damascus were re-established.
Syria has been on the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism since the list’s inception in 1979 because of its continued support of terrorism and terrorist groups, its former occupation of Lebanon, its pursuit of weapons of mass destruction and missile programs, use of chemical weapons, and its ongoing efforts to undermine U.S. and international stabilization activities in Iraq and Syria.
Syria is subject to legislatively mandated penalties, including export sanctions under the Syrian Accountability Act and ineligibility to receive most forms of U.S. assistance or to purchase U.S. military equipment. Since the conflict erupted in Syria in March 2011, Executive Orders have been issued in response to the ongoing violence and human rights abuses taking place in Syria.
From 1990 to 2001, the United States and Syria cooperated to a degree on some regional issues. Relations worsened from 2003 to early 2009, principally due to George Bush’s decision to invade Iraq, an Arab Socialist Ba’athist ally of Syria. This is when the King of Saud prevailed upon President Bush to turn a blind eye toward the Wahhabist/Saudi-led insurrection against the al-Assad regime in Syria.
Ostensibly, the United States expressed such concerns as Syria’s becoming a transit point for foreign fighters entering Iraq, its refusal to deport from Syria former elements of the Saddam Hussein regime, interference in Lebanese affairs, its protection of the leadership of Palestinian rejectionist groups in Damascus, its human rights record, and its pursuit of weapons of mass destruction.
In early 2009, the United States began to review its Syria policy in light of changes in the country and the region. This led to an effort to engage with Syria to find areas of mutual interest, reduce regional tensions, and promote Middle East peace. When matters did not progress as quickly as the U.S. would have liked, the State Department’s propaganda ministry seized on the story of the government’s arrest of school children for writing political graffiti on walls that threatened President al-Assad.
According to this story, the Syrian government brutally responded to the Syrian children’s call for freedom and dignity. It is a modern variation of the story concocted against the Germans in World War I, who were alleged to have murdered infants in their cribs.
What has happened, though, thanks to the Saudi/Wahhabist-led insurrection, is an armed conflict that has lasted more than nine years, taken more than 500,000 lives, and displaced over 12 million Syrian people.
Meanwhile, the United States is the largest single donor to the humanitarian response in Syria, providing over $12.2 billion in humanitarian assistance for vulnerable individuals inside Syria and those displaced in the region since the start of the crisis. The U.S. government supports emergency food assistance, shelter, safe drinking water, urgent medical care, humanitarian protection activities, and other urgent relief.
Between 2012 – 2018, the U.S. provided non-humanitarian assistance to Saudi/Wahhabist-led rebels, including weapons of mass destruction. Saudi/Wahhabist-led use of chemical weapons against innocent Syrians was claimed to have been the work of the al-Assad government, which was a complete fabrication by the U.S. government.
The U.S. Embassy in Damascus suspended operations in February 2012. The Czech Republic, acting through its Embassy in Damascus, serves as the protecting power for U.S. interests in Syria. As it did in Tehran in 1953, the United States diplomatic effort is destroying American credibility in the Levant for decades into the future, perhaps guaranteeing that yet unborn Americans will one day have to fight and die in areas that are of no genuine interest to the security or economy of the United States.
Bashar al-Assad is currently residing in Russia under asylum — and we assume a large chunk of America’s $12 billion.
