So that it becomes even more difficult to sympathize with them. > The problem with Chedley's viewpoint, I feel, is that he doesn't > recognize that the Arabs hold the key to stopping the problem.

I propose a "better" alternative: How about kindly request Israel to stop supplying arms to the Khomeini's regime? In other words, enforce it's own ban. Acceptable?
