UAR and the secessionist coup

Yesterday, I was thinking and reading about that period, I am now of the view that Nasser should have intervened militarily back in 1961 to prevent and foil the secessionist coup of 1961, which was linked to the Jordanian and Saudi (and possibly American) governments.  And before your fake democratic sensibilities get offended, which union or federation was not imposed by force?  His non-intervention was yet another example of the naivite of the Nasserist regime and his attempt to win favor with the American administration.  He repeated that mistake later in 1967, when he did not strike first at the Israeli occupation entity.
