1) Who in the heck vacations in Lebanon?

Jounnieh (sp?) a few miles north of Beirut is a popular vacation destination with a thriving nightlife of clubs and discos.

Before Hezbollah became a presence, Lebanon had a reputation of sorts as the "Las Vegas" of the Middle East. This is an atmosphere it would like to reclaim and crushing Hezbollah will do a lot to achieve this goal.

The middle east has become a very different place since then. I would be highly suspect of any "American" who choses to vacation there,(Lebanon) now...


No "Americans" that I know would.

Lebanon might have been the "low rent" Las Vegas, but Dubai holds that moniker, and rightly so, I believe.
