And the UN certainly is implicated in the extreme, but the British colonial itch set up the situation

The British "colonial itch" didn't operate in a vacuum. There was this thing called the Ottoman Empire, which went belly-up at the end of WWI, remember? The British were working with the Arabs to set up Arab rule -- does the name Lawrence of Arabia ring a bell? The British Foreign Office drew all the borders in the Mideast.

. Reflect on how optimistic the Palestinians were when Reagan promised to keep the marines in Palestine- and that he would not be moved.

I don't know what you're talking about. Reagan put the Marines in Lebanon, not Palestine. Then he pulled them out again after Hizbullah blew them up, making us look like chumps in the Mideast.
