Gratitude is in short supply these times, I'm afraid.

... and apparently downright rare among groups where international parasites already predominate.

They should have opted for the "American Plan."

I wanted to smack the first group of American whiners arriving at BWI airport this week. The American embassy wasn't responsive enough, the phone lines were constantly busy, their email to the State Dept. wasn't answered immediately, they had to stand in line too long to get on the boat out of Lebanon, gourmet meals and designer water weren't served on the boat, they didn't have pillows, and the ultimate horror -- they might be billed for their passage!

It's a neurosis of some kind.

Does this make all of you as angry as it does me? This country needs a wake up call.

Glad to see it's not just Americans who are whining.

Imagine what would happen if these insufferable ingrates had to hide out in barns or attics or some unspeakable accommodation because an enemy was actively seeking them out?
I think they have Katrina Complaint Syndrome - the one that gets you on TV.

Do these people even know that most of the canadian army got repo'd by creditors a few years back?

Hi BBL-
Excellent analysis you've made. I'll bet a number of them wish to become subject matter experts to talk about their "pain" on CBS/NBC/ABC/MSNBC/CNN for as long as we would tolerate it.

I have been listening to the CBC, and it is nice to hear that some of the people are effusive and enthusiastic about the efforts on their behalf. Some of them recognize the efforts of the overworked staff who organized their exit on such short notice. One spoke very admiringly of Stephen Harper.
One the other hand, there was a young man who expressed his admiration for the Hezbollah terrorists, and said that it was only because of his parents that he was coming back to Canada, rather than staying to fight..

I'm of the opinion that they are all a bunch of bastages. Why can't they just be happy to be f'n alive? Geez! When did Americans become such a bunch of pantywastes?

Thank God we had finer people than this to face WWII. Otherwise we'd all be speaking Japanese or German.

There is a simple solution to this carping. The boats have to go back to Beirut for more evacuees. Anyone who profanes a Canadian worker or whines about conditions on the free boat gets put back on board and returned to Lebanon where they can find their own way out.
Without doubt, and pronto too!
"What!?!?!? You can't do that, I have rights (said in a haughty Arabic accented tone)!
"O RLY? Then sue us. When you can get around to it. Bon Voyage."

We need more writers in the states who dare to say it like it is - glad I wont be face to face with any of our whiners - I might be making some suggestions with language I'm not accustomed to using -

I saw an interview with an American yesterday who actually praised the State Dept.
He said he was able to keep in contact via the Internet and they emailed him with instructions/directions to board the cruise ship out of Beirut.
