Never in the post-war era was American prestige higher than in the aftermath of Suez.  Small nations could scarcely believe the United States would support Egypt, a Third World country, in a fight against two of America's oldest allies, nor that it would come to the aid of a Muslim state resisting Israeli aggression.  Never has there been such a tremendous acclaim for the president's policy.  It has been absolutely spectacular.
