So, it's possible the family just went there to have the baby born there? Like a reverse US immigrant anchor?
Nope, not like a reverse US immigrant. You
can't become a Lebanese citizen by birth, just by paternal blood (maternal blood, for bastards).
Most likely, the family was living in Lebanon or went back to have the child in their old family home just because. This is speculation - I don't know for sure.
OK, baby not Lebanese - but keep an eye out for when they decide to take it to be baptized back in the homeland. That'll the be the time for the next uprising.
They will be shocked, shocked, I tell ya, when they hear bombs dropping.
Or maybe they won't. (Be shocked, or hear bombs dropping because the hezzies will be long gone.)
