Citizens who have dual citizenship are being evacuated from Lebanon and are not happy with officials. Officials contacted dual citizens - most who had abandoned Canada or USA for 10 years or more, telling them when and where to meet their evacuation ships. People were complaining that the government should pay for their cab fare to their destination point and that the government took too long to come and get them and that the government did not provide proper evacuation supplies to them. They are being provided with free healthcare, welfare and housing. What about the people who do not have dual citizenship and cannot leave. This also happens everyday in some war torn African countries and many of the citizens do not have dual citizenship with any other country and no economic means to leave - hundreds die everyday. Is this complaint fair or should they be grateful that they had the means to get out. Grateful tax paying citizens living in US and Canada will pay to help them.

People need help to evacuate war torn countries - those with citizenship elsewhere or not. Everyone is entitled to freedom.
