Not sure how politicizing it benefits anyone. Beirut Hilarious! Iran has its tentacles in many Arab countries. But they are begging for western aid, I.e western tax payers' hard earned money. As well many are seeing it as an opportunity to break the immigartion queue and get into western countries and their tax payer funded welfare cheques asap. Far worse needs in Africa.
