Anthony Bourdain was one of the Americans stuck in Beirut when Hezbollah kidnapped the soldiers and Israel went postal. His account of it, for Salon.com, is excellent. Bourdain, for the record, is a TV chef who does a show about exotic food in exotic places. That makes the quality of this article even more impressive.
The only other thing I'll say right now is that I'm extremely disappointed in our president's response, and that a CNN reporter was spot on the other day in asking a Defense Department official, "Do you see it as slightly ironic that we paid for the food being sent to Lebanese refugees and for the bombs that made them refugees in the first place?"
