to the Editor: It is good that our Armed Services are educated by wars and war games gone by. Their lives and our security depend upon it. The Electorate too hears echoes in the straits of Hormuz. They are echoes of the Gulf of Tonkin, and of the sinking of the Maine. Operating in international waters, the captain of a warship must weigh endless potential threats against the grim consequences of overreaction. Likewise, the American people must weigh the possibility that an innocent encounter of ships passing at sea may be used to justify a war.
