The Arabs might restore production for a time to gain the destruction of Israel but we would only have succeeded in stalling the crisis for a year or two. we would once more have deluded ourselves into believing that our troubles will disappear if they are ignored. Is the cut in oil production really related to Israel or the plight of the Palestinians? For years the wealthy Arab nations spoke loudly and did little. They not only failed to fight Israel but they refused to aid the Arab refugees who were forced to live from hand to mouth at the charity of the United States and the United Nations. What lies behind this sudden surge of interest on the part of Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf sheikdoms? Saudi Arabia after all is a conservative antiCommunist nation traditionally tied to the United States.
