U.S. Rescue Bogs Down in Lebanon

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'B')EIRUT — Thousands of Americans whose vacations and business trips to Lebanon have degenerated with sickening speed into stints in a battle zone remained stranded here under Israeli bombardment Monday, their frustration and anger mounting because the U.S. government hasn't gotten them out faster.

It took the US longer since they had to find a way to BILL these people for the trip out of the country. Tax paying citizens mind you.

Aw boo hoo. You're 20 years old, and you had to stand for a couple of hours and endure the horrors of water splashing you in the face.
