pponents of the use of
American troops as moni-
tors of a possible Syrian-Is-
raeli treaty are convinced
that the tide has turned in their
favor, thanks to the Republican

It's common sense that sales of
advanced weaponry to nations in
unstable regions such as the Mid-

of the economic argument, a fact
that could have dangerous con-
