People ask me why I tend to always mock Lebanon. The question for me is this: what is there NOT to mock about that homeland? Look at this: "A Phoenician-style boat will soon set sail for Europe from the port city of Tyre in a bid to highlight the contributions of the ancient peoples of current-day Lebanon to human civilization, as well as the role that the country can continue to play in modern global society." I am most embarrassed that the boat will sail from my hometown of Tyre (thanks Youssef)
