Report Copyright Violation | In 1982, western troops occupied Lebanon during the civil war. 30 years later, it will happen in Syria. Ironic, uh? The Multinational Force in Lebanon (also MNF) was an international peacekeeping force created in 1982 and sent to Lebanon to oversee the withdrawal of the Palestine Liberation Organization. The participants included contingents of United States Marines and Navy SEALs, French paratroopers,[1] Italian soldiers, and British soldiers. The French troops landed in Beirut on August 21, with the U.S. troops (32nd Marine Amphibious Unit from Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune) arriving on August 24 and the Italians (2nd Bersaglieri "Governolo") on August 26. This initial force consisted of 850 Americans, 860 French, and 575 Italian troops.[2] The PLO withdrew from Beirut to Tunisia on August 30; the foreign troops later withdrew to ships in the Mediterranean Sea. source: [ link to en.wikipedia.org] |

30 years later, western troops will "occupy" Lebanon's neighbor, Syria, to intervene in a civil war.
Amazing how History repeats itself, uh? |

Syria is in a civil war in 2012.
The West invaded Lebanon in 1982 using the civil war as an excuse.
The West will invade Syria in 2012 using the civil war as an excuse.
History repeats itself 30 years later.
Happy birthday Prince William! |
