- W234037653 abstract "Abstract : During 1970s, most young American officers were focused on our sad evacuation from Vietnam, frightening advances in Soviet intercontinental ballistic missile warheads, or political cannibalism then consuming leaders in Washington. They thus missed important stories. A quarter century later, it might be well to revisit those years. Hidden in plain view lay rise, funding, and technical enablement of certain Third World leaders who now seek nuclear arms and who may soon bring about detonation of a nuclear device within West. Such a catastrophe is far more likely today than Mutual Assured Destruction planned during Cold War. Where did these people come from, and how complicit were American leaders in their rise? As 1960s drew to a close, kings and emirs friendly to West ruled most of Middle East. India was thought to be a peaceful and nonaligned-although Soviet-friendly-backwater. A glut of cheap oil was on market. Producing states and independent drillers had to rely on major oil companies to refine and market their product using price wars, advertising, glassware, and customer service as enticements. Nuclear weapons were solely province of Big Five (China, France, Great Britain, Soviet Union, and United States), who were victors of World War II and were enshrined as permanent members of United Nations Security Council. But then cradles of early civilization began to rock. As it was, a grimly anti-American radical Islamic government came to power, again with assistance of an inattentive American President. And once again, chaos in wake of that transition triggered another three-fold increase in price of oil. As 1970s ended, stage was set for nuclear pandemic to come. Since then, United States has been marked as the enemy in Arab eyes, once-moribund Chinese giant has revived, and nuclear weapons have been introduced into Third World." @default.
