Barrack: Lebanon must resolve its own divisions and reclaim its sovereignty
U.S. envoy Tom Barrack on Wednesday said that “Lebanon must resolve its own divisions and reclaim its sovereignty.”
“On October 23, 1983, 241 U.S. Marines, sailors, and soldiers, 58 French military personnel, and six Lebanese civilians were killed when a suicide bomber destroyed the Marine barracks in Beirut -- one of the deadliest attacks on Americans overseas,” Barrack said in a post on the X platform.
“We honor their memory by remembering the lesson: Lebanon must resolve its own divisions and reclaim its sovereignty. America cannot — and must not — repeat the mistakes of that past,” Barrack added, suggesting that the U.S. must not send any troops to Lebanon.

"On October 23, 1983, a truck bomb exploded at the U.S. Marine barracks at the Beirut International Airport, killing 241 American military personnel. A simultaneous truck bomb attack minutes later killed 58 French paratroopers at their barracks. The troops were part of a multinational peacekeeping force during the Lebanese Civil War." Details, details. By "divisions" does he mean Christian supremacy via Article 24?

If by "reclaim its sovereignty" he means along the southern border, then he should have stated outright - Talk with your neighbours, that it the only way.
