Hi! Middle Eastern-American here, so I know what I'm talking about loll.
In general, the US does not like the idea of Middle Eastern indepence, because that means less oil for the US and the West. You know this by looking at the way the US has treated foreign leaders. The CIA assassinated Mohammad Mosaddegh, a democratically elected socialist, for the ruthless monarch that was already in place. Another great example is Palestine. No matter how many times Palestinians die at the hands of Israel, as sure as day, the US will still send Israel aid to continue to kill them off one by one. The US claims to care about human lives and human rights, but the second they are asked to extended those rights to Middle Easterns, all the sudden, those policies disappear.
