—Crisis—
Continued from page 4
of a continuing trend into Saudi
Arabia or other oil producing
Moslem countries.
It appears for now that in terms
of United States’ interests, the
situation can only get worse. The
United States has lost control of a
once valuable ally with the
potential of losing more in that
strategic area of the world. To
complicate matters lurther,
questions are now being raised by
American allies in Western Europe
and Japan concerning the
reliability of the U.S. as an ally.
Questions of this sort can only lead
to a more dangerous situation than
the present crisis.
The current developments in
Iran and Saudi Arabia should be a
screaming signal to the Carter
administration to begin an
immediate process of lessening the
United States' dependence on oil
from an obviously vulnerable and
instable area of the world. To
reduce the United States’
dependence on Middle East oil, the
administration must concentrate
its efforts in several areas.
First, the severity of the energy
crisis must be made absolutely
clear to the American public and
an all-out campaign should be
started to inform the public of the
necessity to reduce personal energy
consumption. Second, if oil
imports are needed (and they will
be for years to come), the U.S.
should promote oil trade with
other countries, such as Mexico
and Venezuela. Third, a full scale
effort comparable to the Apollo
lunar program needs to be started
immediately to find safe, feasible,
and reliable alternative sources of
energy Success with solar energy
has already been achieved on a
limited basis. The federal
government should commit itself
to pursuing the potential of solar
energy to its fullest.
There are obviously other means
to achieve decreased dependence
on Middle East oil that should tax
the administration’s imagination.
Success or failure on this point, to
a large extent will mark Carter’s
presidency as a success ora failure.
The United States should also
hold firm to its commitments to
other allies around the world.
There has already been a barrage
of anti-Israel and anti-Egypt
rhetoric from Khomeini and his
devoted fanatics in the name of
Allah. But Carter should
remember that an Israel and Egypt
at peace without oil is much
preferable to an Iran in anarchy
with oil. The United States will
continue to have a great interest in
a stable Middle East.
From a Western point of view,
religious fanaticism of this kind is a
hard thing to comprehend. About
the only thing that can be said with
certainty about the U.S.-Iran crisis
is that we in the West do not
understand the dynamics of this
Islamic revolution in Iran just as
those in Iran caught up in this
revolution apparently do not
understand the West.

abstained, with the prior consent
of Labor Party chairman Shimon
Peres. Had the vote been closer,
Hacohen indicated that he would
have voted against the
government.
Although the government’s
victory preserved its 66-seat
majority in the Knesset, Begin’s
coalition is still in trouble. Several
key members of the party are said
to be ready to quit and join the
Shai faction as a first step toward
the formation of a liberal-centrist
front in opposition to the
government.
