On the run with style, class and elegance

It was perhaps the most elegant exodus in history. Thousands of wealthy, well-dressed Arabs snarled the mountain roads leading to Syria with their Range Rovers and Porsches as they fled Lebanon yesterday.
There were women with expensive coiffures, husbands wearing designer sunglasses and teenagers playing the latest hand-held video games as Lebanon morphed from Arab world summer playground to ghostland.
But behind the tinted windscreens, the faces of the fleeing were haggard with worry. Crawling Porsches and the prayerful join Lebanon's opulent exodus by Tim Butcher

Please tell us how you really feel, Mussolini! :-)
Bwahahaha at Mussolini's comment! Bwahahahaha!
I don't feel sorry for these fleeing people. They have supported terrorism, both overtly and tacitly.
Now is the time for Israel to destroy Lebanon, Syria, Iran--the lot of them. I feel that this is the West's last, slim chance to stem the tide of barbarians overrunning the world.
Screw the peaceniks! My Bible mentions justice and the righteousness of prayinf during war time. Remember that David was a warrior, and a man after God's own heart as he stomped those Canaanite tribes.
Mussolini: None!
