So, you mean to tell me, that our tax dollars pay for rescue missions all over the world, flying foreign survivors out of Tsunami and earthquake zones ...but, our great country will NOT fly tax paying citizens out of a war zone?!

That's how I read it too.

Just saw this:

"U.S. plans 'air bridge' out of Lebanon, officials say"

http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/07/15/lebanon.us.citizens/index.html

There's a "fact box" within the article which says:

"U.S. citizens in Lebanon should call 1-202-501-4444 or
1-888-407-4747. They can also register at travelregistration.state.gov/ibrs "
