A. 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..
