Israel part of Middle East solution
Former Nixon aide
outlines U.S. policy
By Karla Thomas
EmeiatO ContnbulO'
John Rothman, former aide to
President Nixon, spoke to a
small crowd in the EMU Hen
kinder Room Tuesday night
about the role of Israel and the
United States in the Middle
East
Rothman's appearance was
pari of the Israel Week activi
ties sponsored by the Jewish
Student Union in an effort to
provide information about Isra
el and events in the Persian
Gulf
Rothman, now a national ex
ecutive committee member of
the Zionist Organization of
America, said U.S. foreign
policy in the Middle East is
permanently connected with Is
rael
Rothman presented a model
that indicates the United States
has three goals in foreign poli
cy in the Middle East: main
taining some form of American
domination in the region, ac
cess to oil and protection of Is
rael as an ally.
"Any one ball (in this jug
gling act) may be higher than
the others at any one time." he
said.
Moreover, these different
policy goals may explain some
of the confusion created when
President Hush has. at various
times, articulated different rea
sons for the U.S. presence in
the gulf.
John Rothman
"When we first committed
our forces in the region. Bush
said we were 'protecting our
way of life.' What he meant
was protecting our economic
way of life," Rothman said.
The war began as a combina
tion of factors, one of which
was cited by Rothman as the
Soviet withdrawal from the re
gion The Soviet Union’s seri
ous domestic problems allowed
Iraq to fill the power vacuum
created by its absence.
Following the Soviet pull
out. Saddam Hussein faced
control of possibly 40 percent
of the world's oil assets if his
conquest of Kuwait were suc
cessful.
"If Kuwait's primary exports
were bananas, then we
wouldn't have a half a million
men and women over there
right now."Rothman said.
Israel has been an integral
part of U S. policy in the re
gion Rothman said the only
reason Israel did not react im
mediately after the first Scud
missile attack was because the
United States asked it not to.
Rothman called Israel "the
only stable democracy” in the
region.
Another reason for U.S. in
volvement in the war is fear of
Saddam Hussein as a nuclear
power in the Middle East. Isra
el's strike on Iraqi nuclear facil
ities in 198 1 was a "pre
emptive” strike against Hus
sein filling the role of leader in
the area.
"With Iraq gone." Rothman
said."Syria and Iran are powers
on the ascendancy." He said
the United States doesn’t want
either of those unfriendly states
as a regional leader.
"American wants to be the
only viable arbiter in the re
gion."he said, stating that Hus
sein is a definite threat to U.S.
domination.
Rothman explained that
America has supported a num
ber of different nations and re
gimes in the area in order to
further its own policies. Saudi
Arabia, Kuwait and Iraq have
all received U.S. support, but
the only state that fits the
American model of democracy
is Israel.
Although the Palestinian
question has seemingly
plagued all discussions about
Israel. Rothman, although ad
mitting he knows no solution
to the problem, suggested the
possible creation of two states.
