Lebanon and the Lebanese are like the Phoenix... They will rise again. The story here is one of incompetence and corruption beyond comprehension. It's the culmination of years of angst amongst the population. I hope this is a turning point for a city that was once the Paris of the middle East.
Lebanon also has problems with cousin marriage - leading to lower IQ and birth defects in the next generation. 17% of Lebanese Christians and 30% of Lebanese Muslims marry their first cousins.
