How? We deliberately set off bombs in a diner there?
The issue then was the spread of communism and the sponsorship from the USSR that we were addressing. The thought was that state by state was falling to the communists and it could threaten us at some point. Yes, I know they didn't attack us and couldn't. The thought was that if enough countries fell, it would pose a problem.
If those troops did what Hezbollah and Hammas does and the other side didn't, why not?
