#2 I see asylum in their future, if this story reaches the right people. On any grounds they wanna make up, it'd be okay with me. I couldn't do anything to help the poor little Saudi girl I used to see at the schoolbus stop in '92 - maybe this time we can save a couple from the RoP. Let's hope this story gets picked up and repeated. Win-win - for everyone but dickhead Daddy.

#3 It could have been worse for her dad. He could have spent a bunch of cash and dumped her in a New England finishing school hoping she would have made a high quality match for herself then had her return home for the summer and announce that she had become a lesbian.

Seriously, if you're running from a Syrian father, maybe Lebanon isn't the place to stop. Run a little farther.
