Hussein has formed a volunteer brigade to fight alongside the Iraqis in the bogged-down Iranian-Iraqi war, which for the time being impedes Arab League strategy in the continuing war against Israel. In the meantime, Syria's plan to take over Lebanon, of which two-thirds is already in their hands, has been im- peded by the resistance of the remaining Christian forces. A temporary confu- sion was introduced when the fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood staged a revolt in the important city of Hama. But that city now lies .in rubble and the revo- lutionaries are being slaughtered to the last man by dictator Assad's army. In the fratricidal world of the Arab League, the Reagan Administration's decision to try to build up the old-fashioned de- spots of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman is pre- carious enough. Don't they remember the disas- ter of Iran, where a poorly-conceived strategy of arming an old-fashioned despot to the teeth collapsed — and provided Russia with the Qaddafi Ends 'Austrian Visit VIENNA (JTA) — Col Muammar Qaddafi of Lybia ended a four-day official visit to Austria Sunday which was widely criticized by the opposition parties, the local news media, the Jewish community and by Israel which regards the Li- byan leader as its most im- placable Arab foe. Before leaving Vienna, Qaddafi held a press confer- ence from which he tried but failed to exclude Jewish journalists. He bitterly at- tacked the United States and President Reagan per- sonally. According to Chancellor Bruno Kreisky who was Qaddafi's host, the Libyan leader had a long-standing invitation to visit Austria. Other sources indicated that he had in effect invited himself and Austria, heav- ily dependent on Libya for crude oil and searching for markets for its manufac- tured products, could not turn him down. * * * _ French Ship Missiles to Libya PARIS (JTA) — France delivered the first of a series of highly sophisticated mis- sile boats to Libya, equipped with surface-to-surface missiles, similar to the Cherbourg class vessels it built for Israel more than a decade ago. Meanwhile, Israel Foreign Minister Yitshak Shamir charged that Libya is purchasing arms for Palestinian terrorists in southern Lebanon and therefore bears responsiil- ity for the "explosive" situa- tion there. latest and most sophisti- cated American equip- ment? Is Weinberger's overture more of the same, or does it mark an extension of American influence and equipment — he hopes! — into the jungle of the 20th Century dictatorships that make up the other sector of the Arab League? That would be brinksmanship with a vengeance! All of this is done with lit- tle or no regard for the lives of the people of Israel. Israel took on tremendous risks for the sake of getting a peace process going in the Near East. The Sinai, which provided 'depth in defense, will be given up April 25. Unlike the Arab League governments, where direc- tions can be changed over- night, the government of Is- rael has stayed by its prom- ises even after the assassi- nation of President Sadat made those promises ten- fold more dangerous. And now this Administration, having already broken U.S. promises in the deal with the Saudis, proposes to add to the mortal danger the Is- raelis are already in! How are we to under- stand a series of Ameri- can betrayals of our only dependable ally, and the only democratic gov- ernment, in the area? Does Ronald Reagan, with his reliance on a movie star's smile and reiterated verbalizations of friendli- ness, suppose that after what Menahem Begin and his associates have experi- enced in their lifetime they are going to forget facts and succumb to verbal blan- dishments? Are we simply seeing what cynics started saying of American policy after World War II: If you want American government as- sistance you must have a re- cord as an enemy, not as a friend? Or are we simply seeing an extension of a far more dangerous policy: If there's enough money involved, ev- erything is for sale? Since American foreign policy interests, as well as Israel's survival, are at stake, it is encouraging to hear rumors that the Secre- tary of State, Alexander Haig, is at odds with Wein- berger's enterprises. It would be better if we had a consistent American foreign policy, one in which our verbal commitments and our actual conduct made sense to both friends and foes. As it is, we have to hope that the common sense sector of the Administration will win out.
