Description:
As it became plain that the U. S. could not bring stability to Lebanon, President Reagan's administration decided to move the Marines gradually to the Sixth Fleet offshore and step up the U.S. Warships firing on rebel and Syrian positions around Beirut. On February 7, the White House announced the stepped-up redeployment and the next day the battleship New Jersey opened up with a massive bombardment of Syrian targets east of Beirut to enhance the safety of the Marines. The Marines were glad to leave for home, but their withdrawal triggered fierce fighting involving Shiite and Druse militiamen, Christians and Phalangists who massacred scores of civilians.

Description:
Americans were shocked to hear of the bombing of Marine Headquarters in Beiruf. Lebanon were doubly overcome about the pictures of hotrible devastation and days of hopeful digging for survivors. Americans mourned the over 240 dead as they thoughtfully weighed criticism of security measures versus marine Corps orders to “keep a low profile.” president Reagan bravely took the over-all responsibility for the incident, sending his stock soaring throughout the country, and thus cutting off further congressional Wrangling.

Description:
Our nation plunged into anguish at the news of the slaughter of Marines at the Marine Headquarters on October 23, 1983. Reagan joined French and Italian troops in a multinational peacekeeping force. America was brought face to face with the consequences of being a superpower intent on using its military might to try to shape an unruly world. Some 1,200 to 1,400 U.S. Marines were brought in to: persuade Israel to pull its troops out of West Beirut; pave the way to the way for withdrawal of all foreign military forces; restore a strong and stable central government and achieve peace between Israel and its Arau neighbors.
