Beirut 1983: have we learned this lesson?

Article Abstract:

The U.S. Embassy in Beirut was destroyed by a massive car bomb on 18 April 1983 taking the lives of 17 U.S. citizens and over 40 others. The Beirut bombing was mainly due to the failure of intelligence, command and control, a failure of effective rules of engagement (ROE), a failure of clear-cut mission orders, and a failure in Washington to understand the Middle East and Lebanon.
