Horus Heresy
>British honestly expected Americans to side with a colonial power over a former subject fighting for their own land
You have to say the word "communist" at least like four times before we'll do that, and Churchill already used up that card with Iran.

The Americans didn't get involved until after the French left, though. There's a slight but important difference between propping up a corrupt but native-ruled government and backing a colonialist attempt to seize sovereign territory from your former colony.
If there's one sad thing about the Suez Crisis, it's that the US wasn't able to make inroads with the Ba'athists afterwards to make them actually neutral instead of Soviet-aligned.
