How sad that you think of this as "acting out".

You shouldn't read too much into the phrase. My lament is that America has become a country willing to invade anyone we don't like, not the Lebanese desire to improve their lot.
That said, Lebanon is a historical mess and its hard to say who the good guys are.
I am just continually amazed how comfortable we have become with the idea of being an empire.
