It has always demonstrated its friendship for the United States. and is one of the few nations in the Middle East that has never broken diplomatic relations with us. Yet. Lebanon has over 300.000 Palestinian refugees that have settled there because it is a relatively weak nation. because Its people are peaceful. because its government is democratic. These. I suggest. are commendable qualities in the scale of human values. but they make Lebanon vulnerable to militant refugee groups and their activist leaders in and out of the country. We have all seen and been angered by the terrorist activities of these militants. Certainly the machinegunning of innocents at the Lod Airport and the tragic events at the Olympic games in Munich are inhuman actsso inhuman as to support the analysis that they are the actions of desperate. fanatic. and irresponsible people. and whose condemnation should be joined in by the entire world.
