...problem isn't between whether you should have a white or black government, it's who shall be the black government. The whole illegality of Rhodesia was because they had not observed the six principles.* If those six principles are observed, there's no reason to retain the illegality, no reason to have the sanctions at all.

Carter's proposed tax, however, is much too weak, providing insufficient funds for the poor and allowing the oil companies to retain too high a percentage of their windfall profits. And in any case, Carter's tax will surely become even less effective...
