I suspect that you have never even met any of the ME people when you make comments like you did.

I am giving a serious thought to taking a vacation in Lebanon this coming Christmas. I have never been to any of the ME countries myself (but I had a Lebanese meal once and love it) so I have been doing some research and suggest that you at least scan thru this site before making such a comment

Here is part of what he said on Syria

End note

Well that kinda describes my trip.
"A country full of terrorists and people who only wait for the right time to rob you". That's how Syria is pictured world-wide by people who either know nothing about the country at all, or who do, but who have personal gain by giving it a bad name. That's very unfortunate for the folks living there, because it's totally wrong, and I really hope from the bottom of my heart that the stupid policy which is pursued by a handful of countries will be abolished soon. From a tourist's point of view, however, the isolation makes for a country where you can still experience many places in (relative) solitude and where the people are mostly still truly genuine.
Syrians don't really understand why someone is travelling on his own, and will do everything in their power to make this 'unfortunate' traveller feel at home as much as possible. The Arab hospitality is renown, but in Syria they really take it one step further !
