Israel

You're still not noticing the Syrian and PLO elephants in the room. Israel didn't act in a vacuum. Lebanon had been in melt down for 8 years by this time.

And no, that didn't help us.

Wait, wasn't that Reagan's mastery of realpolitik at work? So getting involved and fighting wasn't a good idea. And we know from history that leaving didn't help, either in the short or long runs. Where does that leave us?

Neither did going into one war while another one was far from finished for no good reason.

Flailing around waving your hands and invoking George W. Bush isn't helping you here. It isn't the issue at hand.
