- <p> In his quest to give Argentina a greater international
- profile, President Carlos Menem may be sailing into troubled
- waters. Last week two missile-bearing Argentine frigates
- departed to join the forces in the Persian Gulf. Menem, who is
- of Syrian descent, dispatched the vessels even though the help
- was not requested. "Argentina, long considered not serious or
- reliable, will slowly change its image," he declared. A poll
- indicates that 70% of his fellow citizens oppose the move, which
- ironically places Argentina in alliance with Britain, its enemy
- in the 1982 Falklands war.
