On USA Today's "Americans and Lebanese-Americans"--a poor choice of words. They were probably going for the distinction that the New York Times did better today: "thousands of American tourists and people with dual American and Lebanese citizenship." Just in that visitors will be more clueless and more likely to leave than longtime residents.

Many of the tourists are Lebanese with dual citizenships: American, Australian, Venezuealan, Nigerian, Brazilian, Canadian, you name it.
Of course, many of the tourists were also from the Gulf. Lebanon is more inviting to Arabs and Muslims who cover than places in Europe. And because Lebanon is beautiful, with amazing places to visit, and great food and dancing and wonderful air. It's a lovely country. I wish more of y'all saw it before. Chrisitine did.
There weren't thousands of American tourists who didn't have Lebanese origins. Those people who are American without Lebanese origins, like me, were more likely to be people working and residing here.
