Though the Carter Administration has been exceedingly slow to realize the depth of Saudi anger and bitterness over the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty, it is now obvious that the era of Saudi Arabia's almost total reliance on the U.S. has come to an end. Vance has acknowledged that there is now a "clear and sharp difference" between the foreign policies of the two countries...

Rhodesia is a country torn by war, with 90 per cent of the country under martial law (hence the undemocratic nature of the "elections" should be obvious). According to New York Times reports, the Patriotic Front has twice as many guerillas fighting within the country now as it had a year ago.
