...main casualty of the Israeli attack on the reactor appeared to be the peace mission of U.S. Special Envoy Philip Habib and his efforts to resolve the issue posed by Syria's missiles in Lebanon. Even the moderate Saudis were distinctly cool during Habib's last round of visits before he headed home for consultations. Said a Lebanese official who is in close touch with the Palestinians: "The Arabs view the raid on Iraq as a demonstration that the Israelis are America's policeman in the Middle East...

So outraged was the Egyptian parliament by the raid that it might have demanded that the entire Egyptian-Israeli dialogue be reconsidered if Sadat aides had not intervened to cool off the members of his own party. Egyptian officials, moreover, expressed concern that the U.S.'s own credibility in the Middle East was at stake and urged Washington to take a decisive stand for the sake of its interests in the region...
