'Balance Of Terror'
Building in Mideast

FOR
YOU

ecent military threats
against Israel by Iraqi
dictator Saddam Hus-
sein and the arms buildup
throughout the Arab world
are producing a "balance of
terror" in the Middle East,
according to two specialists
of that region, Dan Raviv
and Yossi Melman.
Writing in the Washington
Post's Sunday "Perspective"
section, Raviv and Melman
say that Israeli military
strategists are "increasingly
shifting their focus onto
Iraq."
"Intent on leading the
Middle East's foremost
power," Iraq's Hussein "has
apparently decided that
Iraq's historic moment has
come. He survived the long
Gulf War, naturally claim-
ing victory. At home, Hus-
sein clamps his political op-
ponents into torture cells
and oppresses the Kurdish
minority to solidify his rule.
Last week California offi-
cials implicated an Iraqi dip-
lomat in an alleged plot to
murder two opponents of
Hussein. Everything Hus-
sein does . . . gains the vocal
approval of the Arab
League."
Of greatest concern to
Israel, write Raviv and
Melman, is the Israeli and
Western intelligence analy-
sts' "near certainty" that
"Iraq is trying to develop

`the works' when it comes to
mass destruction: a chemical
arsenal, biological agents,
nuclear bombs and the all-
important delivery vehicles
which would reach Hus-
sein's two chief enemies,
Iran and Israel."
While Israel's policy is to
possess weapons "far more
powerful" than anything
available to its enemies, the
Jewish state "cannot count
on indefinitely enforcing the
so-called 'Begin Doctrine.' "
This was articulated by
Israeli Prime Minister
Menachem Begin in June
1981 when he ordered
Israel's air force to destroy a
nuclear reactor being con-
structed in Iraq because "the
enemies of the Jewish people
must never be allowed to ob-
tain weapons of mass
destruction."
The doctrine, effective dur-
ing most of the 1980s, now
seems to be eclipsed by arms-
building throughout the re-
gion.
The prevailing mood
among Israel's senior
military men was reflected
by one retired Israeli gen-
eral quoted in the Raviv and
Melman piece: "The next
war will be harder because
of advanced technology.
Chemical weapons will be
used and the civilian popula-
tion on both sides will be in-
volved. The era of short wars
in the Middle East is over
and this will be total war of
society against society."

"The Marshall Chronicles" — rooted in Woody Allen?

Jewish Jokes Abound
On ABC's 'Chronicles'

A new comedy on ABC-TV
features a New York high
school student who's a "one-
boy compendium of Jewish
family jokes," according to
New York Times TV critic
John J. O'Connor.

"If you're looking for
major influences," advises
O'Connor of "The Marshall
Chronicles," (Channel 7,
Wednesdays, 9:30 p.m.),
"start with Woody Allen."
In one up-coming episode,
