Does the United States have a responsibility to evacuate you from a foreign nation if war breaks out while you are there?
Apparently some spoiled American Arabs think so.
An Arab-American group sued top Bush administration officials, claiming it bungled the evacuation from Lebanon of US nationals, leaving them vulnerable to the Israeli military offensive.
In their suit against US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld filed in a Detroit, Michigan federal court, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) asked the court to order the government to stop shipping weapons to Israel as long as US citizens remain in danger inside Lebanon.
The U.S. government didn’t force any American citizens to travel to Lebanon. Sure, they should try to get Americans out, but this lawsuit is garbage. The government is not your damn nanny.
