Where did I say that? I said you misrepresent the situation in Lebanon prior to the events. And you are. The revolt was a result of just as much outside meddling as US intervention. It wasn't some constitutional revolt by democratic forces against a would be dictator.Let me get this straight. When the Soviets intervened in Afghanistan it was an invasion, and when the United States invaded Lebanon it was an intervention. Or was it vice versa?
EDIT: And, yes, US actions were qualitatively different from those by the USSR. After quashing the revolt US didn't uphold any puppet unpopular figure head. It found a way to restore constitutionals order that satisfied everyone (while you "would be dictator" returned to the political scene several more times as an active popular political figure)
