WASHINGTON (AP) - President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair declared Friday that a multinational force should be dispatched quickly to help Lebanon regain control of the southern part of its country from the Hezbollah militia. However, the two leaders again stopped short of supporting an immediate cease-fire in the fighting between Hezbollah and Israel, which Arab and European leaders have been urging.

• Hezbollah and Terror

As a former member of the multinational peacekeeping force for Lebanon, the violence between Hezbollah and Israel leaves me shaking my head in disgust ("Israel moves to seal off Lebanon," Page 1, Friday). Both sides attack each other in the least manly of ways, air assaults and missiles, while recklessly endangering innocent civilians. For me, this whole conflict involving the parent of all terrorist organizations means we in the world of powerful military might have failed. Failed in the matter of finishing off Hezbollah, the one enduring enemy of peace throughout the Middle East.

• A Thank You to American Soldiers Killed in the Middle East

Whether the goal was to end piracy, fight Nazism, rescue American hostages, liberate Kuwait or defeat terrorism, the U.S. has been willing to commit men and matEriel in order to protect its interests in North Africa, Somalia, the Levant, the Arabian Peninsula, Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan. Today is not a day to debate the merits of those interventions, but to honor those killed while serving thousands of miles away from their families. On this Memorial Day, I'd like to remember those American soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country while serving in the Middle East.
