I never thought I'd see the day when Free Patriotic Movement students at French St. Joseph's University in Beirut would lay a wreath at the tomb of "Martyr" Imad Mughniyah, aka, master Hezbollah terrorist who bombed the French Drakkar Paratrooper Compound killing 58 paratroopers, within a minute from the bomb with which he also killed 241 US Servicemen at Beirut Airport on October 23, 1983.
The French and US troops were part of the MultiNational Peacekeeping Force which had come to Beirut in late 1982 to oversee the evacuation of Yasser Arafat's PLO forces, to help the government of President Amin Gemayel - faltering under the Syrian-Hezbollah assault -, and to prevent Samir Geagea's Lebanese Forces militia from murdering more innocent Palestinian refugees in Sabra-Shatila.
Pity the nation which makes heroes of criminals and is totally ignorant of its own history.
