...from a trip to Portugal, Spain, Morocco, and Rumania, just as Weinberger was getting back from Amman, hastened to assert that "there was no specific request [from Jordan for U.S. arms], no offer made and no decision made of any kind." He added that "redirect" was "a very incorrect word" to describe U.S. policy toward the Middle East, however it had come to be used...
...reducing the deficit will cross it and work with us on our proposal or their alternatives. Those who are not sincere . . . will stay on the other side and simply continue their theatrics." He assailed "the knee-jerk reactions and the instant analyses" for being "as hasty as they were incorrect." Contended the President: "We must hold firm to our tax cuts and reduce the budget even more . . . We are at last and at least approaching the bend in the tunnel."

But Walt does not add that other speakers were quick to express similar skepticism at the time. Because the audience demonstrated a naive enthusiasm by applauding the Soviet emissary, they should not be condemned to silence on the broader issues under scrutiny. Walt's suggestion that the public reserve criticism of current policies until it can offer politicians and military leaders detailed and specific proposals reveals not only narrow-minded elitism, but also...
