Let me add my name to those who are sick and tired of people expecting their government to make up for their lack of planning.
>:-(
Yeah, as far as I'm concerned anyone with Canadian citizenship stupid enough to move back to Lebanon (and most of these people are/were residents there) has NO right to expect the Canadian people to bail them out. As if anyone couldn't see that Lebanon sits in the middle of a very volatile region, with a very unstable government. The only people who have a right to expect to be evacuated from Lebanon are those who are there working for the Canadian gov't. And maybe tourists, although again choosing such a volatile place to vacation would seem to be a particularly poor choice.
