You should look at GDP per capita to get an idea of relative values. One Israeli is worth quite a lot more than one Lebanese and one Lebanese is worth a lot more than your average Indian who is worth a lot more than your average African. Those are averages. You can scroll to the bottom here lagriffedulion.f2s.com to get the relative values. One Israeli isn't worth 27 Lebanese. It's more like 1 Israeli is worth 5 Lebanese. But the chances of losing another Albert Einstein is very high in Israel, but not so much in Lebanon. So there is a risk factor in there. One Albert Einstein is worth about a million Lebanese [more really, but a million gives the idea - a million monkeys or Lebanese typing for 1000 years wouldn't come up with Special Relativity [not when they claim Allah did it all]]. So maybe 1 Israeli is worth more like 100 Lebanese. We'd need to do better calculations to get an accurate figure. Mqurice
