...information seemed to point in that direction. Egypt's 21st armored division?carefully husbanded until now?had crossed the Suez Canal. At least one other armored division was preparing to follow. The die was now cast. The parties could not yet be brought to end the war???or the Soviets to support a cease-fire?by a calculation of their interests. All that was left was to force a change in the perception of their interests. We would pour in supplies. We would risk a confrontation...
...technically they are not children of war???not of war as it is fought in Belfast, Nahariya, Ramallah, Beirut, or in the jungles outside Phnom-Penh.

He called on Israel to return all Arab territory occupied during the Six-Day War???including the Old City of Jerusalem?and to recognize "the core of the problem": a national homeland for the Palestinian people. "It is not fair," he insisted, "to ask for yourself what you deny to others. Even the U.S., your first and foremost ally, chose to face reality...
