Warning Issued on Sending U.S. Marines to Lebanon

A warning that, if Ameri-
can troops are assigned to
Lebanon, the U.S. must not
become a protector of the
PLO, is expressed in an
editorial in the Wall Street
Journal, July 8. The edito-
rial declares:
"As with all attempts at
decisive action these days,
President Reagan's offer of
American troops to expedite
a PLO withdrawal from
Beirut is drawing its share
of criticism.
"For our part, we see the
delicate negotiations to
save West Beirut from
further bloodshed and de-
struction as involving the
sort of complexity that re-
quires a lot of trust in the
people directly involved.
"If there is a role for the
U.S. Marines to play, it
should be remembered
that the reason we have
Marines is to employ
them in political situa-
tions where both risks
and opportunities exist.
"But having said that, we
hope that Mr. Reagan and
other U.S. policy makers
are aware of the one risk
they should avoid at all
costs, being seduced into a
role where the Marines be-
come the protectors of the
PLO.
"Our objective, one with
which Israel's needs are
consistent, should be to re-
turn Lebanon to the
Lebanese and pacify the
western shores of the
Mediterranean. Continued
existence of the PLO as a
fighting force in that region
is not consistent with that
goal. •
"It should be clear by now,
even to those U.S. policy
makers who have been the
