Our super smart government.

So I'm watching the news today, cause I have nothing better to do, and they're talking about how there are 25,000 americans stuck in Lebanon, most of whom want or need to be evacuated. What's the government's response? Leave the people there while we formulate a plan. They're basically following the same playbook they used during hurricane katrina. While other governments swiftly moved to get their citizens out, the US has sat on it's thumbs leaving people in harms way.

Then it's reported that people being evacuated will receive a bill for the governments trouble. These are people who were either there studying, vacationing, or working but because Isreal got a bug up it's ass about something, now Americans are caught in the middle of this mess and thanks to the IDF they have no ways to get out of the country.

I can understand the reasoning behind charging someone for evacuation from a hostile area when they go there knowing full well that it's dangerous and violence could break out at any moment. West Africa anyone. These people though are in a relatively stable country. Sure they've had their moments there but the lebenese are caught in the middle. They have a terrorist organization sponsored by syria that is based there but they really don't have the means or public support to uproot them. Then Isreal goes around pissing everyone off and just generally mucking things up even more.

While writing this I've spotted something on CNN that says now people being evac'd won't have to pay. Yeah because american's are sick of stupid policies.

So basically the government needs to get their shit straight. We need to tell the Isreali's to settle and the lebenese government to clean up hezbollah or else.
