Which is exactly why the mullahs
are swallowing their hatred for the
Great Satan and offering to deal. (The
mullahs, also desperate for money, are
demanding $500 million in frozen assets
and U.S. help in raising oil prizes.)
After six years, they are just short of
toppling Iraq. Any marginal boost to
their war effort could be decisive.
For the United States, preventing
Islamic fanaticism from sweeping
through the Persian Gulf is a crucial
national interest. And yet, as a ransom,
for hostages and protection money
against future terrorism, we are con
sidering altering our policy, tilting
toward Iran, and thus jeopardizing that
interest. (And more than just consider-

Which is why hostage families should
not make foreign policy. Victims' fami

these are still insufficient explana

The power of television is, of course,
one factor. On video, abstractions like
national interest or collective security
have no meaning. They cannot be
represented in pictures. A grieving
family can.
