oh yeah? well i surely dont remember the name of any saudi or yemeni doctor who excelled in western faculties... can u please name me some? but its true when u say that we blame foreign influence for our own problems... but that DOESNT mean its not true and pathological to our state, and benefiting other countries, and leaving us more and more helpless year after year with weak politicians that do not serve their people's interests!!

here's your answer : http://phoenicia.org/genetics.html

"well i surely dont remember the name of any saudi or yemeni doctor who excelled in western faculties". OK, let say I am wrong and Lebanese are special. I am sure satisfies your sense of pride, but does it really help you? Regarding you other post with reference to http://phoenicia.org/genetics.html. It is interesting and I do not have a hobbit of questioning others origins. As far as I am concerned you are who you say you are. Still, do Lebanese teach Phoenician in schools or at least learn it on their own? Do they try to restore their ancient culture? In reality saying is not enough.

were not pretending to be special, im just saying lebanese were more open to western education than any other arab people... ur putting words in my mouth there :P
