i have great lebanese friends. but at work, from my experience working with them, my opinion is, they have huge egos and unwilling to admit ignorance even when they are totally clueless about a subject. in short, they are award-winning hollywood actors and cunning politicians. they treat me well but i can see through all the superficialities as i see how they treat other people. especially behind their backs...not all but generally. BEWARE OF THEM.
