Say, "you don't know this." But Lebanon's Ba-Kakta Valley produces the best hash-hish in the world. (I think it's called "the white stuff.) And, because the IDF keeps the road closed, you can't shoot along the coast in a car ... where it would take about 3 hours ... to get you into Beirut. Just ain't gonna happen.<BR/><BR/>Sure. Beirut liked to advertise itself as "the paris of the Medditerainian." Don't believe what you hear.<BR/><BR/>For the arabs, however,Beirut is a place where the women wear bikinis. And, there's actually beach front property where they can show this off. Along with tight jeans. And, skimpy clothes.<BR/><BR/>Why?<BR/><BR/>Selling drugs is a profitable business. Even if you're left with a transport system that uses the sea. Small light aircraft? Nah. Same problem as "by car." Israel doesn't let it in.<BR/><BR/>Still, in Tel Aviv there are seven (7) crime families! Count them! For the space, that's a lot of pie to cut up. And, it's done on the backs of the usual suspects.<BR/><BR/>Maybe, someday, "grass" will become legal? And, then where would Lebanon go, if it couldn't go to pot?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
