Inside, outside..And among us..

Quite frankly....I am a little puzzled about a news item I just picked up from the radio, while driving:

About 40,000 Canadians are looking to the Canadian Federal Government to bring them home. Apparently they are stuck in Lebanon and have no way to get "home"...

This is either a mistake, or the numbers are wrong or something is seriously wrong with this scene, unless of course there are that many Canadians of Lebanese extraction visiting Lebanon at this time. I doubt it.

Sounds to me like these unfortunate Canadians are looking at a dual citizen situation and for the time being they could just be out of luck. Can't blame the state for their inability to come to the rescue...Just too many and something makes no sense.
