Stand in Line Like the Rest of the World. Oh, and behind the Lebanese.

Watching the news makes me sick lately. The Canadians, bitching and moaning about getting out of Lebanon, complaining about their free ride out of a war zone. They actually had a profile of a Canadian woman in Beirut complaining of the damage to her catering business that these bombs had done, when she’d been there for 20 years – and now she’s angry how slowly the evacuation to get her out is taking. It makes me ill. 50, 000 people choose to go to a country, then storm the gates of the embassies to get out. And you know what they were saying? “I have seen other embassies, their evacuations went well and orderly. Canada has done such a terrible job.” Really? Or are we just bitchy, complaining Canadians, pushing and shoving? Many more Canadians showed up for the evacuation than allowed or expected. So we’re just queue jumpers and assholes, aren’t we? Cry me a river, and build me a bomb shelter. You’re the one that chose to vacation/work in the Middle East, in a country with a terrorist group in government, next to the most volatile nation in the world. Give me a friggin’ break, and start walking.
