|
| |
The surprising turn of recent diplomacy in the Middle East works to diminish the role of the United States in the area. By a kind of reflex attitude, the Carter administration is as one American diplomat in Israel put it, "scrambling to get back in the game."A far more sensible tactic, in fact, would be to stay out of the game for a while.
