Danes, Swedes lead evacuation race

"The Danes got a test run in crisis management earlier this year when newspaper cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad triggered violent protests against Danish embassies in Muslim countries.

One of the Danish Muslims who spearheaded the rallies against the prophet drawings, Lebanese-born Ahmad Akkari, was among those evacuated from Beirut on Thursday.

"My impression is that the transportation has been safe and that no one has been suffering," Akkari told Denmark's TV2 channel as he boarded a Greek ferry chartered by Denmark."

This strikes me as an example of class, on a national level - basic decency trumping ideological differences.

Too bad our current crop of leaders wouldn't get the hint if it were delivered on the business end of a clue-by-four.
