Real aim of the Athens hijack and U S response
Ralph de Toledano argues the TWA hijack aimed to punish the United States, with Amal Shiite militias and Syria guiding Lebanon. He contends a strong U S response, including naval and air strikes, could have deterred further attacks and asserted U S resolve against Islamist extremism. He contrasts Israel's decisive action at Entebbe with U S diplomacy, urging a forceful policy to protect Americans and counter Arab fundamentalists.
