I know a guy who ate popcorn and drank cokes on rooftops with his friends watching the fireworks for "entertainment" in Beirut back in the early eighties. I met him in 1982 while he was learning English before starting college in Tennessee. He prepared himself....he never went back.

Like Jim said, this was just a matter of time. This a repeat it looks like.....when the IDF chased the PLO out of Lebanon. Now Hezbollah plays the PLO part getting chased out.

I think I would definitely have had my own plan and equipment to skeedaddle out of Lebanon if I lived there. Wouldn't someone like us forum users have had preplanned routes for exit that were not normally used? Routes Israeli jets wouldn't have bombed out already by now?

Would somebody who lives in that type of climate tell us what his BOB would contain?
