@PoohShoes But now, it seems like talking is the only way and we had a wise president that ended the Suez conflict easily could result more casualties. Kinda like how in Libya we joined and now NATO without the US lead is now bogged down in Libya and now they trying to find a way out. I think we joined in NATO-led campaign in Libya, maybe it would ended early but joining in means that we make thing worse and now we are bogged down.

@RichardElden: Indeed. Along with not calling in airstrikes at Dien Bien Phu and not paying attention to events in Cuba, those were Ike's three major blunders.
-
@PoohShoes: As well as not calling in USA airstrikes at Dien Bien Phu, Suez was Ike's other major blunder. That said, the UK and France not consulting the USA first, especially after the Marshall Plan, was *very* unwise.
-
@RichardElden: Sadly, Ike did the *wrong* thing, although UK/France/Israel not consulting the USA first was quite unwise.

Fuck Nasser!
There haven't been any colonial powers in Africa for over 30 years, Africa is screwed up because of the Africans! Do you really think they were all just living happily together before colonialism?! tribal boundaries were not formed through peacefull negotiations,eg. The Zulus were a warrior nation they formed their nation by killing the opposition. Africans are still killing each other the only difference is the weapons! If British influence had remained in Africa it would be far more stable.

The Suez Crisis confirmed Britain's decline on the world stage, and demonstrated that henceforth it could no longer act without at least the acquiescence, if not the full support, of the United States. The events at Suez wounded British national pride, leading one MP to describe it as "Britain's Waterloo" and another to suggest that the country had become an "American satellite".
