<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.
