Revisiting Ariel Sharon v. TIME In his "To Our Readers" letter, managing editor Richard Stengel asserts the honesty of the magazine in its coverage of the Middle East, saying, "People still recall the libel suit we won against Ariel Sharon in 1985" [Jan. 19]. For the sake of fairness, I would like to remind you of what occurred: a New York jury held that TIME's article was defamatory and false and that TIME had acted "negligently and carelessly" but held that Sharon, my father, had been unable to prove it was written "with actual malice or reckless disregard...

Although the Iranian Revolution and the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979 still leave many Americans bitter, the time for holding grudges has passed. Simply put, the potential for economic benefits, a more stable Middle East, and—perhaps most importantly—saving American soldiers’ lives are simply too great for the US to overlook, even in the face of such a gross offense to international diplomacy.
