Miss Lebanon and world peace? Not so much - Page 5

Why blame Miss Lebanon? She does not make the laws in her country.

It looks to me as though Miss Israel turned the trio of ladies into a quartet.

Isn't Miss Universe broadcast live? How the heck is Miss Lebanon going to compete if it's illegal for her to be seen with another contestant and she has no control over the cameras ${#emotions_dlg.confused1}$

IMO throw her out of the competition.

I agree 100%, Smaug.

I guess Miss Lebanon missed that it's the Miss Universe pageant.

Ms. Lebanon didn't "miss" anything.

She didn't make the no-photo" rule, her country did. She has to abide by it.

yes, and she even made a statement regarding the controversy and saying how she wished things could be different.

miss israel said this, not miss lebanon. ${#emotions_dlg.sad}$

Then maybe she should have thought twice before competing at the Miss Universe level. She knew there could be a photo or cameras catching them together in the same frame.

This is called the Miss Universe Pageant not Miss Lebanon.

Maybe Lebanon should not enter a contestant from their country in the competition if they do not allow such photos.

Exactly

Why didn't Miss Lebanon walk away when Miss Israel took out her cell phone/camera and point it in their direction? It does take a little bit of time to get the camera/cell phone focused. She could have excused herself and left before the photo was taken.

I posed that question yesterday, but webbie deleted it. I also thought it was strange that none of the others were reacting to someone suddenly walking into their photo.

Both women should have been very aware of the sensitivity of the situation based on their countries being at war with each other and avoided any sense of controversy. Their Handlers/chaperones should have diplomatically kept them apart. There are plenty of other contestants they can pal around with.

I can't believe Miss Israel was so naive as to not know the trouble she would be causing by her insistence that a photo be taken. If Miss Lebanon refused more than once, she should have gotten the message and given up.

Israel is not at war with Lebanon

Ya gotta luv it here when the censors pick and choose which posts are up to snuff and which ones are not. They've been busy little pickers on this thread.
