Lots of talk online about the head of Lebanon’s Internal Security Force issuing an order to his men (and women) to vote for Jeita as one of the 7 Wonders of the Natural World. As fellow blogger Rami mentions:
Next week’s “unusual” order will be calling them to either join the Internal Security Forces group on Facebook, or become fans of his Facebook page.
Mr. Rifi, teach your officers how to respect us and behave well in the streets before giving them orders to do online voting!
I agree! Especially since I have failed to read any explanation for this photo. It seems the ISF seem to be grasping security quite well.

Credit to Tarek who emailed me the photo.
hehe,
i agree that the order to vote online is stupid at best, but i don’t see the problem with the picture.
the girl (most likely drunk) must have asked for a photo-op with these guys and they acquiesced.
The security force must be respected and must respect the population. What this picture shows is that they are willing to take advantage of someone who is not fully aware of their actions. Unless he’s looking for her car keys to prevent her from driving, he’s not doing his job.
If he wants to have fun, he shouldn’t be wearing that uniform. The ISF are rarely respected and this photo doesn’t help.
