Evacuation

CNN was good for one amusing item tonight.

In small print, in a roundup of news items, they mentioned in passing that the Pentagon was exploring plans for a possible "evacuation of up to 25,000 American citizens from Lebanon."

I could only smile.

I remember the last time there was an "evacuation mission" of American citizens.

And there were fewer than a thousand of them "at risk" at that time.

I can dream, can't I?
