I'm not condeming them going after Arafat. The idiot had shot first against both the Israelis and the Lebanese. What I am condemning is Sharon just letting Sabra and Shatila happen instead of at least making a token effort to stop it. I see Sharon as nothing but a Nathan Bedford Forrest for modern times.
It leaves us with Eisenhower's criminal stupidity in the Suez Crisis which left the USA with no option but to give Israel a blank check in everything.
See, if the USA had managed to follow through with Afghanistan *before* trying to see if occupying Iraq as opposed to our three bombing raids in the 1990s would make them do what we wanted them to do I'd not be as irritated about it.
