Other scenarios will come into play. They are as follows: Afghanistan will "push through their border area to the west" and this will be another hot spot in the very near future. - There is unrest in the Yemens. They Yemens may be hot spot in the near future. The PLO is acting favorably towards the US during this crises. - The Israeli's will stop their incursions. - Iran will be quiet during the crises. Iran is not taking or deciding sides at this time. The United Nations have very difficult decisions to make and it will force Middle East countries to work situations out between themselves and to stop looking to the "west" for help. There will come a time when land or boundaries or borders will be different in the Middle East than the way that they currently exist. Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R000800070002-5
