"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."

I sympatize with your plight and pray for your safety....

With that said.....you choose to go to that hell hole which is a VERY dangerous part of the world. I doubt very seriously if your situation trumps the Isreali's security concerns. Bad $hit happens in life sometimes....that's life....look at it this way.....how often does someone get to see the enemy get their a$$ kicked from behind the lines.....

Hunker down and stay safe!!!

Hellhole? Beirut? What planet do you live on? Beirut was, and has been returning to, the Rivera of the Middle East. There is are brand new Four Seasons, Hyatt and Hilton hotels nearing completion. Beirut is a fascinating city but still recovering from a decade of civil war. As for dangerous, I am safer here than on the South Side of Chicago (or parts of many other major U.S. cities). As for Israel's security concerns, they should be bombing Tehran and Damascus rather than Beirut because Hezbollah is just a "messenger boy" for the leadership in those countries, who are simply using Israel and Lebanon to divert attention at the G-8 from Iran's nuclear program.
