Nazi fans in Beirut. Karim sent me this from Lebanon--I use with this permission: "sorry the picture isn't better. after the Semifinal Germany vs Turkey on Sassine in Ashrafieh. After asking him what he really was hoping to say with this the drivers final answer was: "I love Hitler", his girlfriend was visble emberassed :). A week earlier we were watching the quarterfinals Germany vs Portugal, when durign the opening ceremony they played the German athem a bunch of guys stood up right hand raised Nuremberg 1934 style. Most people here don't seem to care too much. even though quite sad, i thought you could find this amusing."
