How many times, he asked, can the U.S. intervene all over the world to support friendly governments? "You can't," he answered. "And why should you?" Friendly governments, he said, should be helped to become strong enough to defend themselves. Any unilateral U.S. ban on arms sales, the Shah insisted, would only weaken U.S. influence among its friends and create...
