Re: PRESIDENT BUSH ANNOUNCES $230 MILLION IN AID FOR LEBANON

jtexas, these are just my ramblings with out any factual basis. I want to say I love Canada and growing up in Montana not really far from there we used to family vacation there a lot. Now I live even closer and fish there a lot. Anyhow Canada is a huge country with vast natural resources that would be desirable by a lot of countries such as the former USSR, China, so on. I think that in the world probably Canada and Australia are the countries we most closely resemble or vice versa. I don't think we look at Mexico the same because of different language, etc.
I think that everyday on this board and other places you will read / hear something like "if we weren't spending so much on the military we could spend more on _____ "(fill in the blank) As most everyone that has read my posts knows I am extremely conservative so my personal feelings are to fight socialist programs but I beleive there are a lot of people that don't feel that way. 8)

Many people here do not know much about Lebanon. There are many Christians living in lebanon, it isnt a Muslim stronghold.

The Lebanon govt is OK, its Hezbolla that is the bad guys.

Ken, I do know Lebanon from inside and out. You are right that there are christians there.You are very naive to presume that by merit of being christians,they are also good guys.You can believe me when I write that the Lebanese Maronite Christians are just as cruel as their moslem arab brethren.Almost 40% of Syria is christian.
Religion is not a measuring stick for being good or bad.

Yep, and I agree. I believe the crusades illistrates your point. My point was that many here think that Lebanon is a Muslim stronghold and it isnt.
