I think unless we hear otherwise, there is no sense in overreacting. The bottom line is that Lebanese Americans have as much right as anyone else to be evacuated if they ask for it. There are several thousand students at the university in Lebannon and many families that should be evacuated. I just wish they'd get them out of there faster. There is a staging area in Cypres, so I'm sure any question of citizenship is answered there before they fly them to the US. Calm down... :)

I'm sure all are Americans but a lot are dual-nationals who have both US and Lebanese citizenship. I think its absurd that the US foot the bill for bringing these guys home. I may get a one way ticket, enjoy the area for a while and see if uncle sam will foot my bill on the way back. Oh, then I can whine and cry about the service. What a wastre of my money on people that don't even appreciate it. But Hey, whats a few more hundred thousand dollars of debt?

Do you want the truth, or do you want opinions?
The US government's priorities for evacuations are always the same: First, US citizens and their immediate family members - parents, spouse, children. Then legal permanent residents who already have their green cards. Finally, anyone who has a US immigrant visa already issued to them.

What is a "true" American? I've heard there are about 6000 or so. Either way they are getting charged, so if we evacuate a few "Untrue Americans" I don't see any issue.

I hope they are screening people somehow, to prevent terrorists from sneaking in. But it's possible that they don't have the time or resources to do that. Scary.
