To the Editor,
As a doctoral candidate in political science currently working on an article about Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon, I would like to congratulate Gary Kamiya for his superbly written analysis of that particularly complex and bloody chapter in the Arab-Israeli conflict. His article is more illuminating than entire books I have read about that war! I share strongly Mr. Kamiya's opinion that Israel's addiction to using its military might as a foreign policy tool is likely once again to radicalize the Middle East and push the possibility of peace ever farther away.
