RE: "Put Sharon on trial. I would, based on what I know, convict him for allowing the Christians to slaughter the Muslims."

The Palestinians agreed to leave Beirut. It was believed that they would leave fighters behind in the camps. Either Israelis or Phalangists were required to search the camps. The Israelis sent the Phalangists in. They told the Phalangists not to harm civilians. The Israeli committee of inquiry said that the Israeli command should have known that the Phalangists would murder civilians and the Israeli military on the scene should have discovered the crime and put a stop to it. What would you convict Sharon of? Truman dropped 2 A-bombs, ostensibly to save the lives of American servicemen who would have died in an invasion. Sharon sent in Phalangists to save the lives of his soldiers if there were fighters in the camps.
