Does this also hold true for US citizens
(nee ``Americans'') ``purposely traveling'' to Lebanon?
Did the US Marines there get their just deserts?  Do medical personel going
into a combat zone deserve death because of their ``arrogance''?  Think
about what you are saying, man.  My guess is that you're yet another
Amurcan using double standards based on who your government says are the
good guys and the bad.
