1 Wow - Beruit is Babe Central!!

2 Yup. The little foxes are ruining Syria's vineyard.

3 Lebanon used to be a tourist destination... before Arab nationalism. May it become again, soon. We need American REAL feminists to burn their bras in front of Arab and African embassies.

4 I couldn't do that. I need mine . . .

5 It is amazing to look around & find yrself living in historical times! Remember the chorus of jeers in the run up to the war, that Arab culture wasn't ready for democracy? Like Reagan & the Cold War, Bush will get no credit for any of this from the effete literati. (But ask an East European what they think of Reagan)

6 That was my whole thing about Bush: I remembered with some sadness being on the wrong side of history WRT Reagan, and making fun of him when I should have supported the work he was doing (even if, from our point of view, it might now succeed). But I was still a bit Red myself in those days, and blinder-than-blind. So I'm making it a point to support the guy with the dream who is looking out for the oppressed in other countries. (And by oppressed, I don't mean, "I saw a nativity scene near City Hall right before Christmas.") You can't live your life on regrets. But sometimes you can learn from your mistakes.

7 (And by oppressed, I don't mean, "I saw a nativity scene near City Hall right before Christmas.") But...But... In their gasping from shock they lost a whole 2 seconds of quality breathing time.

8 My Dad says Beirut was quite the party spot in the 50's.

9 Why are all the photos of freedom in the ME of women? What about the guys who want freedom now? Enough of the sexy ladies, let's see the men who want freedom now!
