...longer concerns the possibility of peace. The questions now are: What kind of peace? And at what cost to whom? Arab unity has been shattered. Despite the ferocious anti-Sadat rhetoric of the rejectionists, it is they who are isolated, not Egypt, so long as moderate Arabs back the quest for peace. For the moment, the influence of Yasser Arafat and his Palestine Liberation Organization is on the wane.

In the streets of Cairo, in restaurants and hotels, Egyptians speak openly and warmly about his quest for peace. Sadat's mission is popular, and he knows it. The President, moreover, remains convinced that other Arab leaders will see the light. Tahsin Bashir, Egyptian Ambassador to the Arab League, last week told an audience at the American University in Cairo: 'Other forces in the Arab...
