Look at those references to Lebanon from 1970

This will reinforce the conspiracy theories about the Lebanese civil war in 1975:
"Kissinger: "If we have a civil war in Lebanon resulting from Palestinian action, and Lebanon asks for intervention, what would be our view?"
Helms: "The imagination boggles. It was bad enough in 1958, but now, with the fedayeen as a complicating factor!"
Kissinger: "If we don't do it, would we have the Israelis do it - or anyone do it? Let's review the existing papers on Lebanon."
Harold Saunders, of the National Security Council: "You recall we had an Israeli option.
Kissinger: "Would nothing be better than the Israelis? Let's review these papers again.""
