New York Post May 14, 1998 And how do you explain the simultaneous tilts against an ally
like Israel and the nation of India at the same time the administration
sees and hears
Both Israel and India are in the doghouse because they are faced by genuine security threats the Clinton administration would prefer to ignore. The Indians are uncomfortably aware that the U.S. has turned one blind eye to the arming of hostile Pakistan by North Korea and China. The Indians also know that China is building airfields and storing weapons on their Tibetan border and arming their other hostile neighbors in Burma. But because the Indians don't fall into the same happy category as the Indonesians and the Chinese, they face the choice between maintaining a strong defense and offending Bill Clinton. |
