A few things have changed. Arab spending and investment was sharply
curtailed when oil prices dropped after this book was published, and OPEC
lost power. (However, prices could go up again, as alternative energy and
conservation efforts were abandoned as well.) Secondly, this book describes
how Arab leaders were concentrating on nuclear weapons development in
Pakistan and other countries; now Pakistan has the bomb. But the big change
is that the Cold War is over, and today organized terrorism has largely
replaced warfare between nations. Globalization and U.S. unilateralism
is finally making America a prime target. Along with this there is a new
awareness that chemical and biological weapons can be devastating, which
means that nuclear weapons are no longer the only option.
