Don't you wonder what is wrong with the people who decided to go to Lebanon for vacation after that first soldier was kidnapped? There was a woman on the phone to CNN this morning who was in Beirut sounding scared. She said there were lots of Americans in beach Condos who are on vacation. I would just hate for an American serviceman to get killed rescuing people who didn't have enough sense to leave. That first soldier was kidnapped weeks ago.
I wouldn't judge them too harshly. This kind of thing has been going on for a long time now and it would have been unreasonable to expect that this time would be a big one.
Some people appear to have the "it won't happen to me" attitude.
Then there are people like me who were here working with international agencies trying to shore up this fledgling democracy.
Please try to learn a little more about the world outside your hometown before posting such narrow-minded crap. Also, the "first soldier was kidnapped weeks ago" by Hamas in Gaza, not by Hizbollah in Lebanon. Please buy a map and a history book and learn that the "Middle East" is not one speck on the map somewhere halfway around the globe from where you live.
People are dying here. Flippant remarks are extremely callous.

I'm seriously considering a cancel of my Iran vacation plans.
