Lebanon versus the US
"“Ground Zero” for Lebanon is an ever expanding, never ending, open wound that never heals. "So what now Newt? Should you expect the Lebanese to allow a synagogue to be built on their Ground Zero, in the aftermath of a 9/11 that occurred 5 years after ours and which, “proportionately” speaking, was 30 times the size of ours?
