What about the other Moslem states? Husky Iraq, shaky Jordan, pro-Communist Syria, half-Christian Lebanon, oil-rich Saudi Arabia, pro-western Turkey and Iran, all represent separate influences or vacuums of their own. The U.S. is concerned most about Syria and Jordan because neither has a government strong enough to ensure stability.

A weepy Mossadegh (TIME, Jan. 7, 1952) tried to rule from a hospital cot, and Iran was in danger of a Communist coup. That danger is safely past.

Lebanon (pop. 1,425,000). Smallest Arab country, officially half Christian and half Moslem, the cultural and commercial center of the Arab Levant. Pro-U.S., and less hostile to Israel than any other neighboring state, Lebanon alone among the Arabs has so far refused to break diplomatic relations with Britain or France...
