Those who were wise enough to not be in Lebanon to begin with were the best prepared. I can realize how many people are descendants from that region. I can realize how many people were back there also because they were born there. I can even realize it is/was the Paris of the Middle East and a good place to visit. What I can't see is a GOOD reason why those others out of the 25,000 Americans, 22,000 Britons, 50,000 Canadians, etc, etc, were over there to begin with.

Any rational person should see Lebanon was no place to visit since 1982 or before. The girl on FOX news complaining about it all at the American University at Beirut? She should have never gone over there, for any reason whatsoever. The same Beiruti guy I posted about previously gave up on that school before coming here in 1982. No sane Westerner should be in any country that houses a reknown terrorist militia that controls part of parliament.

I look at all of these helpless fellow American citizens being interviewed after being rescued by the Marines and I can't help but think: "What the heck are you doing over there to begin with, dummy?"

I'm finished ranting.
