LOS ANGELES - Peace reigns at least at the Miss Universe 2006 contest, where beauties Miss Lebanon and Miss Israel are the "best of friends" despite the bloody fighting between the two countries back home, their companions said.
Even as Israel has bombarded Lebanon in the wake of a missile barrage by the Hezbollah militia in the country's south, the two women -- Gabrielle Bou Rached of Lebanon and Israel's Anastacia Entin -- have struck up a friendship ahead of Sunday's tough competition to see who is named the world's most beautiful woman.
"I think the perpetrators of the current Middle East crisis could learn a few lessons from Miss Lebanon and Miss Israel, who are the best of friends here," said Miss Germany Natalia Ackerman.
The contest doesn't allow much room for warring, with contestants from 86 countries this year all crammed into the same Los Angeles hotel for a month with a rigorous schedule of rehearsals for the show. Mostly in their early twenties, the women become friends mainly based on geographic nearness and shared languages.
Entin and Rached have been pulled together by the force of shared cultures, whatever is happening back home, smiling, posing for pictures together, even though Rached's presence sparked a protest by some 20 Lebanese Muslims Wednesday in front of the downtown Los Angeles hotel.

Hopefully she has other things that will make up for the chin :-)
LOL!!! Sad but true, yet funny in a way. =)
Cecily, you are finding all the pix, can you find one of Miss Australia? The article quotes her and says she is one of the faves to win. (I feel a little silly asking this, me being a gal, but curiousity gets the better of me). I do think Miss T/T is the prettiest so far. I must say that Miss Canada is wonderfully tall, tall women remind me of my daughter, so I'm fond of them.
Does Miss Lebanon have a matching bomb vest to wear with her swimsuit?
och. horrors. which gave birth to which, I wonder?
so what? Miss Lebanon is Christian, not Muslim (name: Elizabeth Rached)
that's ok - none o'y'all get to build me any bearing assemblies tho
Hope not, but that can't be her because it would have blown up in a crowd of innocent people.
Read a similar story not long ago about an Israeli and a Muslim (don't know which country he was from) who played on the same soccer team and are the best of friends.
That's a deal!
hubbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
of course it's her! don't you recognize Ol' 'Dozerbait?

Right-click and look at the pic's properties.

Can't the mod. zot these ??
Ruins a wonderful thread.
( like eating a bag of Oreos and finding a roach at the bottom.)
when i was young, my dad took me on a business trip to namibia (we lived in south africa at the time). all i remember was hundreds of miles of sand and some goats.
