There's no government in Lebanon, except maybe some leftovers from the Syrian puppet government that have not been killed or otherwise rendered inneffective by the different militia's fighting at each other's throats - therefore B. I nor anyone I have spoken to in the US recently, has heard anything official from the Lebanese government complaining that Israel has kidnapped 700 of the Lebanese government inoccent citizens.. on the other hand, C. The only group actively interested in these people who are held by Israel, whether they are terrorists or law-abiding citizens, is the Amal Liberation Front, a highly-radical Shi'ite Moslem group that's being told to do whatever they do by Iran and the Ayatollahs. Doesn't the fact that the Lebanese government (if they exist) washes their hands of these people indicate who they really are? Mark, how can you put these people and the US citizens who were killed and kidnapped in the TWA affair on the same scale? Did these US citizens send car bombs to Israel with suicide-minded crazed drivers? Did they kill off 300 Palestinians in the Sabra and Shatila camps just during the time they were held? Or maybe these are actions of the people Israel is holding or of their friends such as Nabia Berri? USE YOUR BRAIN before you talk! Maybe you should stick to the UUCP project and not get mixed up in politics..
