...contrition. We shouldn't flatter ourselves. If reunification ever comes, it won't be a "gift" from the West as much as a concession from the East.

Egypt receives nearly the same amount of U.S. foreign aid as Israel, though it shows no signs of any sort of democracy. The administration is currently sending legislation through Congress that will permit the sale of M-1 tanks to Saudi Arabia. Remember, the U.S. granted Iran most-favored nation status under...
