since half a million

Lebanese citizens could find the time to protest the US, and chant "Death to America",

(BTW, that is nearly one in every eight people in the country)
Then we should help their self esteem and stop giving them those dollars tainted by coming from the "great Satan".

According to wikipedia, Lebanon receives $400 million or more dollars from the US, second only to Israel. Other sources place that number lower at only $200 million. Either way, it should stop.

I am sure that the 1 in eight people in Lebanon who hate America would not want to continue to receive those dollars.

Cut 'em off. We really don't have the money anyway.
