Interesting Observations from the Mideast ...

Is it me, or do you see certain ... how to say? ... national characteristics on full display here? As of yesterday:

64 Americans out of 25,000 living in the region have requested evacuation.
800 French out 20,000 living in the region have requested evacuation.

I could be wrong, but I believe the remaining French are currently building a protective wall that they earnestly hope no one will go around.
