...growing recognition that the civil war cannot be stopped as long as Somoza reigns. As an American-trained national guardsman put it last week, "In this war, nobody gives an inch. The current round could cease in two weeks. But when it does, both sides will just rearm, and we'll be fighting again in three months or so, just like before...
During the February revolt against the hapless government of Prime Minister Shahpour Bakhtiar, the Kurds took advantage of the chaotic situation to rearm. They stormed army garrisons in northern Iran, seizing huge quantities of weapons.

For one thing, they explained, it might be less expensive and less dangerous for the U.S. to shore up the Egyptian economy than to rearm Israel for a new war. For another, said a State Department official, "if we leave Egypt to solve its money problems in the Arab world, then we shouldn't be surprised if Egypt's political maneuvering remains strictly in an Arab context." The embarrassing problem for Ford, of course, is that...
