How About With the Growing Global Market there is a need for people in business to be familiar with different cultures in the world. So if someone needs to learn the Lebanese culture what better place to learn it than in Lebanon.

Also with the Current Middle-eastern Climate escalating there is also a need for people in the Government to have an understanding of different cultures too, so , Again, if someone needs to learn the Lebanese culture what better place to learn it than in Lebanon.

I don't think that all the American Students that went over there for college went there to enroll in Terrorism 101

Nobody ever implied that, what i'm saying is that letting your child travel to Lebanon to study just doesnt seem like the brightest move. Sure lebanon might be somewhat pro American, but your still in a country that has a shady history with ties to terroists groups, such as Hezbalah. Seems rather risky to me.

Oh that gets plastered all over CNN/Fox/etc.
Why bother showing what we all get to see anyhow?
Why not take a look at what you don't get to see?

Frankenstein fears after head transplant


A new brain could be available in the future


A controversial operation to transplant the whole head of a monkey onto a different body has proved a partial success. The scientist behind it wants to do the same thing to humans, but other members of the scientific community have condemned the experiments as "grotesque".


Good health and family
