From Tourists Streaming into Syria from Lebanon, post 47:

To: cinives

You all might find this damn funny, but my sorry ass is marooned in Beirut, where I have been working for the IMF. If anybody has any helpful suggestions on how I can get out of this war zone, I would be most grateful. Right now, the road to Syria is the only way out of Lebanon for anyone, including U.S. citizens, and the Israelis are bombing that road. I am NOT happy with the Israelis right now. I understand their concerns about their kidnapped soldiers but bombing the Beirut Airport was not going to help them in any way.

Cut him some slack. He's in a tense situation, to put it mildly.

"find and stay with other Americans...they are working on a plan to extract you......"

If it's not too dodgey to go out on the streets. Maybe wait until sunrise if possible.

They ALWAYS have an evac plan on the shelf, right down to specific collection points. Every embassy has one.

So sorry to hear that...I hope they are all OK.

Crap. I hope rebel_yell2 is OK too.

This whole week has been full of bad news.

rebel_yell, I love ya, but I still support Israel's strikes 100%. Tough times can be tough on us little fish sometimes, but they're still doing the right thing.

Great point! Notice to all who would harm Americans. We have a long memory and a very long reach. Vengeance is best served cold.

You have GOT to be joking! Syria use the Beirut airport? Now THAT would be justification for bombing, and it's only about ten minutes for the IAF to get here. There was no rush.

"I think the best bet would be to try to get to Amman via Damascus,"

Now is not the time to be thinking about moving anywhere in Beruit.

Let alone to Amman.

At times like this, Reb, the unthinkable becomes real. I have no doubt that Syria would try to get a plane in there if they thought it would stir the pot more.

It's not so tense that he can't be on the internet slinging insults.

Here is a good school of thought for you. First: Stay right were you are, get yourself at least 5 days of supplies, your ID and papaers with you and keep filling the tube with water as long as the water last.

Second: If Israel does invade and you are trap,leave your location in the day light, slow approach the Israeli position with your ID papers in your right hand plams up, ID yourself as an American and they will get you out of the warzone. Yes you might be pissed at them but the Israelis are your best bet.

Of course, if I had a job where they said "We're sending you to Beirut", I'd reply "Yeah, and fork you. I quit".

Don't blame Israel, rebel_yell2. Who put the gun to your head to make you travel to Hizbollahstan?

Good luck over there.

At least he's still online, insults or no. For that I'm thankful.

Exactly. Also - find a French or Russian person and learn the accent, then use it at all times until well on the way home. Hide your documents identifying you as American.

I hope you can assemble some self-defense items such as a big knife and/or a trusty AK-47 or suchlike.

Bombing the civillian airports is essential when a civillian airliner can be used as an improvised cruise missile... I thought we understood this in general since 911?
