Chaos in US Evacuations in Lebanon

CNN.com – Stranded in bomb-ravaged Beirut – Jul 18, 2006

E-mails sent to CNN from people inside Lebanon suggest anger at the speed of the U.S. evacuation.”A week into this conflict, and I am still waiting to hear back from the American Embassy,” wrote Natalie Kerlakian of Denver, Colorado. “The lines are constantly busy, and if you are lucky to get though, they put you on hold. All the other countries have or are in the process of evacuating their citizens, and we are still waiting. I hope this response will be better than that of Katrina.”
