Here he is at the exile.ru talking about Lebanese Palestinians:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('The War Nerd', 'J')ust to show you why Pals in Lebanon don’t mind martrydom so much, it’s against the law for Pals to own taxis in Lebanon. In fact it’s illegal for them to own property at all! But they can drive taxis, under the table, for next to nothing. Like one Pal whined, “We are less than the Sri Lankans here!” Which is pretty low on the scale, because Sri Lankan girls are imported to Beirut to be “maids,” meaning beaten in the daytime by “Madam” and raped at night by “Monsieur.” And even they’re respected more than the Pals.


That guy amazes me. Do I think think he drives a Subaru in Fresno and eats junk food and drinks Diet Fanta? Could be, how the hell do I know?

Great writing. Reminiscent of P. J. O' Rourke, somewhat.
