  • Buzz Line: "War - now or later - is high on the agenda"
  • Eagle Eye: Interesting coastline with small villages, lots of evidence of war, lots of ruins - ancient and recent
  • Hot Spots: Beirut - a city sprouting from the ash yet preparing to fall again. Saida and Sour along the southern coast, Byblos north of Beirut, and the best Roman ruins of the Middle East - Baalbek
  • The Low-down: With lots of unfriendly soldiers and tanks everywhere - check the war-report before heading off
