Cons: People who have never been there will try to dissuade you out of irrational fear.
Summary: We all remember the problems with the Lebanese terrorists in the late 80s and early 90s. The unfortunate thing is that many Americans tend to feel that Lebanon is inaccessible for safety or political reasons to this day. That is simply just not the ... read more
