Why were the first generation Arab Nationalist leaders of North Africa (Nasser, Boumediene, Bourgiba, Gadafi) all so handsome?
Was it just a coincidence?
Did the US government pay actors to lead nationalist revolts and take over Mahgrebi countries to undermine French influence?
Nasser is a bit hit and miss tbqh, he's a qt in some photos but not so much others

Charisma has always been a big thing for revolutionaries. It's a pity the US drove Arabs away from socialism in the cold war, I think in hindsight it was big mistake to stamp out this natural inclination in the region.
