Alwaght- After independence of the United States from Britain in July 4, 1776, the world began to see growing rise of this country both regionally and internationally. Emergence of the US as a superpower was manifested in Monroe doctrine announced in December 2, 1823. According to this doctrine, the US expressed its opposition against European powers intervention in or invasion of newly-founded American continent�s countries. This doctrine governed the American foreign policy nearly up to the initial years of the First World War.

According to this policy, Washington never intervened in any other parts of the world as a superpower. But with the onset of the First World War between the European powers, the US quitted the isolationist Monroe doctrine. This war actually was a prelude to Washington�s adopting new policy and stepping in the international crises as a key side. According to the �American exceptionalism��a doctrine stated and adopted by Woodrow Wilson who was the US president during the last years of the First World War�, the US undertook promotion and support of the so-called democracy across the world.

One of the outcomes of the new doctrine was foundation of the League of Nations based on the Wilson�s Fourteen Points in 1920. Following relative collapse of the League of Nations, the US once again adopted Monroe's isolationist doctrine. This continued up to the start of the Second World War and Japan's attacks on Pearl Harbor, on the island of Oahu, on December 7, 1941.

During the years between the two world wars, the US experienced a considerable boom in the industry and trade. The American economic and military advances during these years were so big that paved the way for Washington to step into the global developments. As a result, in post-war era the US rose as a hegemonic power on the international stage. In the shadow of exceptionalist and protectionist policies, the US committed itself the so-called duty of supporting democracy and liberalist traditions and values.

With beginning of the Cold War era, the world saw the rise of a bipolar system. On the one side was the Eastern Bloc led by the Soviet Union and on the other side stood the Western Bloc headed by the US. This cold confrontation prepared more grounds for Washington�s entry in different global regions. According to the President Henry Truman Doctrine and President George Marshall Plan, the US expressed commitment to prevent influence and expansion of Soviet-backed communism in the �free world�, a propaganda term used to refer to the non-communist countries.

According to the mentioned doctrines, the US presidents defined other areas of influence for the US including the West Asia (Middle East) region. This was seen as a necessary part of Washington�s foreign policy. As the American-Soviet Union encounter continued, the West Asian region took attention of the US leaders as among the most vital regions of the world.

After just a short time, these region turned into the US' remote backyard. In other words, Washington during over the past decades not only managed to hold a sway in this region but also took advantage of West Asian potentials to save its global hegemony.

Over the course of all these years, the US tried to save its domination over West Asia through forging crises such as war and terrorism, as well as moves like organizing peace talks and taking steps to prevent proliferation of the WMDs.

Everlasting crises create the need for the US' presence and role in the form of �savior of humanity�, as the US politicians like to promote and support democracy in the region. Washington takes a set of roles in the region�s ongoing conflicts including mediation, military action, maintaining the warring sides through creating balance of power, arms sales, and building military bases in the West Asian countries. All these are in fact showcases the US role as the persistent crises roll on in the West Asia.

In a broader sense, the US-led capitalism needs to create massive crises through war and other instruments. In second step, the economic and military corporations undertake the job of making changes and getting toeholds. The domestic opponents of the US-backed pro-capitalist changes are put down under concepts such as terrorism and backwardness.

It can be concluded that over the past decades, permanent presence in West Asia region has been a priority for the American presidents. This aim was pursued by George Bush through direct military actions and by Barack Obama through waging proxy wars.

What is, meanwhile, very important is that the lasting crises in West Asia have been taken advantage of as a leading strategy to preserve the US domination in this region. The only difference is in the ways to create crisis which vary from fueling the oil wars to creating and backing the terrorist and takfiri groups such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS.
