It's Only a Game
He was a degenerate gambler. That is, a man who gambled simply to gamble and must lose. As a hero who goes to war must die. Show me a gambler and I'll show you a loser, show me a hero and I'll show you a corpse.--Mario Puzo
The picture accompanying this article on rioting at Beirut University tells a complete story, but it's not the same one the text tells.
All the Lebanese soldiers are armed with U.S. M-16 rifles. It's crystal-clear where all the M-16's came from, which were also observed in numerous photographs of Hezbollah fighters in the last Israeli-Hezbollah shoot-em-up.
As always, we're arming both sides of the fight. It's an even bet: this insures that our policy always backs a winner.

Doubles the profits and insures more War too.
Peace.
Human,
Thanks again. Please realize though we are not a classic peace blog. Although that is the ultimate goal to finish the phony war on terror.
These soldiers are being armed with American military equipment to fight, not Israel, but Hezbollah.
If you want a convincing understanding of why Hezbollah would have M-16s then simply look at any guerilla movement. From Cuba to Vietnam, the weapons of their enemies became their's when captured or simply corruption.
