I went been in Beirut 3 times in the early 1970's. You cannot believe what a beautiful city it was before it went to hell.
Damn Tex proofread.
I hear its beautiful, I have a friend from Tyre who is a Palistinian, he left there when he was 18, he didn't want anything to do with the crap in the middle east. He came here, went to college, got a MBA, got citizenship and brought his wife over. He is a great guy, he said if I got in trouble over there he would get the family lawyer to rescue me!
