Certainly, the Americans are getting their people out quicker than some countries (you should be aware of the slow progress of evacuation plans for up to 40,000 Canadian citizens in Lebanon). It is the height of the summer cruise season and ships capable of carrying passengers are in short supply. Military vessels are not equipped to handle thousands of civilian evacuees, to say nothing of the logistics of moving people around within Lebanon during the conflict. So I'm not clear about the basis of your criticism. I've been looking at news reports from outside your country, and am not aware that the U.S. evacuation effort has made your country the "laughing stock of the world." Could you give us some indication where this laughter is coming from? Mark On 7/19/06, Bill Smith <wrs111445@yahoo.com> wrote: > > Is FEMA in charge of the "evacuation" of our fellow Americans?
