All the accounts about the various violent deeds attributed to `Imad Mughniyyan conveniently gloss over this fact: that the US military was involved in Lebanon between 1982 and 1984 and that it too engaged in acts of terrorism against the Lebanese civilian population. Some newspaper make it sound that the Bir Al-`Abd car bomb was the only act of violence by the US in Lebanon. This is not to mention that the US was sponsoring the terrorist regimes of Amin Gemayyel. So both sides have blood on their hands.
