1978 and 1981, the royal
family could claim that it
was too poorly equipped to
join the attacks against Is-
rael launched by Egypt and
Syria in 1967 and 1973.
Similarly, Jordan was
able to successfully plead an
insufficiency of arms when
it rejected Arab pressure to
join the Yom Kippur war
against Israel. But with
huge amounts ofpotent U.S.
arms in Saudi and Jorda-
nian hands, this argwneri
can no longer be made.
The ultra-sophisticatea
equipment in Arab hands
means that Israel's civilian
centers will be exposed to
Arab attack. Even if Israel
could win a war against one
or more Arab states, it
would suffer terrible
casualties and pay a terrible
price for victory.
Israel worries, justifiably
so, for her safety. Ameri-
cans concerned about our
own country's best inter-
ests, which lie in a Mideast
at peace, must also be trou-
bled by the madness of a
White House policy that
imperils the safety of our
best friend and only demo-
cratic ally in the region and
heightens both the likeli-
hood and carnage of war.
