They used to call Beirut the “Paris of the Middle East”.

Now Paris is the “Beirut of Europe.”

the response from those organizing the games should be to throw them out no debate. I have my idealized boyhood vision of the Olympics unfortunately it does not live up to the ideals.

You got that right!

If I am not mistaken, Paris is one of the cities bidding for the 2024 games. Rome, Budapest, and Los Angeles are also bidding. Most likely it will either come down to LA or Budapest if Paris gets hit again.

I would worry that they already new about a bomb on the bus. (Like when the locals stop frequenting the bazaar or when the taxis all disappear).

Budapest would be awesome. Imagine the canoeing events on the Danube.

Simple solution: let the Lebanese walk. Tell them busses are for all, and if they disagree, they should’ve brought their own camels.

Lebannon pretty much is gone.

The History of Lebanon should be required reading for anyone who wants to see what the future of Europe is.

If I was to go to Europe, it would ONLY be to Eastern Europe and to countries such as Poland or Hungary because those countries in Eastern Europe have NOT forgotten their history.

The President of Hungary not too long ago endorsed Mr. Trump for President. This article was posted on FR a few months back, about the lure of the “strongman”, which includes Donald J. Trump.

“The bus driver opened the door, but this time the head of the Lebanese delegation blocked the aisle and entrance. The organizers wanted to avoid an international and physical incident and sent us away to a different bus.”

So far, no official response on behalf of the delegations was given regarding the incident. The Olympic organizing committee has not yet offered any statement about the incident either.”

Here’s a statement. F@#$ the Olympics. F%^&% its supposed spirit. Even if I had a TV I wouldn’t watch, although I will be showing my granddaughter the Israeli Judo team’s performance on You Tube, since she started learning Judo this year.

These are not muslims. They have hijacked a great religion. Islam is a religion of peace. Coexist!
