[edit] Hezbollah "Strange Phrasing"
I saw your edit of the introduction time-stamped 14:43, 5 August 2006 and thought you might appreciate knowing the history of the strange phrasing. It's a very odd thing, but most the POV pushers concentrate on the introduction. There's certainly some POV activity in the body of the article, but the introduction is by far the most active battleground. Some time ago - a few days? a week? - somebody posted a long rant about the barracks bombing, complaining about the later American retreat from Beirut and claiming that all Americans have now forgotten about it. This was very quickly changed to "do indeed remember" and the battle went back and forth for a day or two until the combatants got tired; the strange phrasing was never intended to be a stand-alone assertion, but a rebuttal of an assertion that was deleted.
Thanks for helping with it! JiHymas@himivest.com 17:09, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
