Here is the way the U.S. can get involved in Lebanon/Syria/Iran

[kazlab67]

OK, so they are talking about leasing a Cruise Ship to extricate the American Citizens from Lebanon...with a Destroyer Escort....
Seems like a big fat target to me!
Honestly, if an Iranian Cruise Missle supposedly hits an American Ship killing American Citizens launched from Lebanon....another Tonkin Gulf/Lusitania/Maine scenario...we go Ballistic as well.

I just saw that and thought the same thing. Really hope not.

What kind of american on their right mind goes to visit such a POS unstable country like Lebanon?

If the ship did get attacked, I don't think we would even get involved at that point.

There are lots of Americans in all of these countries. They are a lot more civilized than you might imagine.

I agree a cruise ship full of Americans would be a nice juicy target - for an Israeli missile which would be portrayed as one coming from Iran. The American public would then be tricked into fighting another war which the Zionists and American neocons so gleefully want.

Frankly, if I were an American trapped in Lebanon even, if it were free (which it is not), I would pass on any American government repatriation and go for Syria's offer for safe haven. Get to Syria and then catch a flight home.

So you don't think the C802 didn't come from Iran?

Civilized or not, last place I would visit is some borderline third world arab country. The only two arab places I would ever visit is egypt and quatar (for quatar gp!). Even if the people are *civilized*. It's their goverment and their political views what it is to fear.

Mark this day on the calendar, I actually agree with Fargin.

Now why would you go and post something stupid like that? Have you ever been there? No one so far called your country POS have they?
I have been reading your posts and I kinda got the idea that most of your posts portray the prejudice person you are. For you info, I have been to Lebanon and I have been to egypt and Dubai and qatar and all these countries are years behind Lebanon in civilization. Lebanon is the most westernized country and the only Democratic country in the middle east. Don't be a hater man.

Ok I take back the POS comment. But, still with the on going war against terrorism it only makes sense to stay away from the middle east. My posts can be very opinionated and to some they might seem prejudiced but believe it or not I'm a very open minded person.

Oh and azzkicker, you can keep the labels to yourself because I don't believe in that shit.
