I bet . . .

. . . you don’t have 2,000 year old Roman columns lying around on your parking lot. You’ve got to travel all the way to Greece in order to view this type of art work. We’ve got them right here, lying around in downtown.
Of course, it is a trade off. While you live in a fairly civil society, you’ve got to travel to glimpse ancient civilizations. We on the other hand, who seem to be living among the remains of ancient societies, have to leave the country, if we want to experience some type of civilization. You can’t have the cake and eat it too, they say. So it seems.

No, not you. But all Lebanese politicians are, and their henchmen, and their armed supporters. They are definitely uncivilized.
