reports say there is a growing number of Arab people opposing Uncle Sam, and they are also beginning to oppose their own leaders. If these reports are true, Arab nations are now vulnerable. Egypt and Mubarak may fall. King Fahd in Saudi Arabia may fall. Musharraf and Pakistan may fall, and they say that Arafat has now even insulated himself. These possibilities would destabilize the entire Free World. I ask Congress, and I yield back the need to establish a Palestinian State, the first step necessary to avoid war in the Middle East and war spread throughout the entire world.

Editor's note · Context

Discussing the political instability in Arab nations and the need for a Palestinian State.
