Two aims
So far as American policy exists, it is influenced by two main desires. First is to stay, on good terms with the Arabs, because they control the Middle Eastern oil lands. Second in the desire of all presidential enndidates, both in and out of the White House, to do nothing to alienate "the Jewish vote."
