Making good on Carter's vow in the event of a showdown in the gulf could be a logistical nightmare. Administration strategists are concentrating on dealing with four possible emergencies.

The fourth possibility is a Soviet thrust into Pakistan, under the pretext of hot pursuit of Afghan rebels. In each case, the U.S. would have to contend with an overwhelming Soviet...
