...such considerations have not deterred Church from speaking out, sometimes erratically and perhaps sometimes under pressures from his home state. He startled the White House by insisting−despite his strong stand favoring normalization with China−that the Senate express concern over the security of Taiwan. Similarly, in the midst of the Iran turmoil, he needled Saudi Arabia by contending in an ill-timed and ill-conceived statement that it "cannot count on our unequivocal support" unless it helps conclude an Israeli-Egyptian peace treaty...
While the Vietnamese have deployed around 100,000 troops along the frontier, it is the size of the Chinese buildup that has caused most concern. Along the frontier in the provinces of Yunnan, Kwangsi and Kwangtung, the Chinese have gathered an estimated 150,000 troops, some of them rushed from positions facing Taiwan.

...battles now being fought in Vietnam and Cambodia blatantly disregard such concern for human rights. The danger to world peace and the suffering endured by the people in those countries remain beyond the scope of possible U.S. influence because of the confusion of means and ends in U.S. policy formulation. The means have been lost, sacrificed because American policy makers mistook the tools of foreign policy for a positive statement of policy in themselves. Having played its China card, the U.S. holds nothing--no Vietnam card, no Cambodia card, and no control over a game in which it is vitally...
