The world usually has a politic¿l or military hotspot somewhere for $rme reason or ahother. For some years the "cold war" between the United Staúes and the USSB has not existed but it is being carried on (by proxy)in Afrie¿. Through the Strategic Armb Limit¿tion Talks (SALT), v¿rious ceilings on weapons sysùems, political activities, and government actions have been agreed to, and not only the two major superpowers are participating in the talks. Yet does it not seem at all peculiar that, in light of these negotiations, that we continue to send military aid to the Middle East? Planes and materi¿l are being given to one of the most explosive areas ofthe world, despite the fact sales are to Egypt rind Saudi Arabia, moderates i¡ the eonllict of peace with Israel. Seeretary of State C¡rus Vance, in an interview in mid-February, was questioned as to the reasoning for this sale.

Afüer some tentative aùswers, Vanee came up with an answer _ which can be translated to mean "they have the oil, we have the planes." One can only see the obvious political moves of securing oil, but at the same time eontravention of ethic¿l considerations is involved.
