The US ambassador to Turkey, Tom Barack, who also serves as the US special envoy for Syria, admitted at a forum on October 20, local time, that the US initiated 23 regime changes in the Middle East and surrounding regions, but all failed. It was wrong for the US to try to intervene, change those in power, or change the regime. Barak said that the US tried to control Libya, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, etc., but none worked. He called on the US government to change its strategy in the Middle East and take care of it, but he will not leave.
