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.
