What happened to Pinewood College Beirut?
It was established in 1960/61 by a group of eminent educators, including Drs. Khalil Georr, who was President of the Higher Teacher Training Institute, Dr. Farid Najjar, Dean of the Faculty of Education, Dr. Naim Atiyeh, Associate Professor at the American University of Beirut, and other specialists. The name reflects, not only the green look of its wooded campus at the start of Airport Boulevard, but mostly the new approach to education that was pioneered. The group sought to demonstrate the possibility of offering a liberal high school program, within the framework of the Lebanese laws of education, breaking with traditional methods of teaching, without the risk of clash with the established school system . Pinewood College started with a preschool program, leading gradually to higher levels, up to the Baccalaureate degree level. It followed a liberal policy of admissions, making room for all students of age level, regardless of attainment. Qualifying students were placed where fitting, while failing and weaker ones were directed to special classes for remedial work and further preparation before integration into the regular stream of classes. Modern techniques of teaching-learning were introduced for the first time, a School Psychology unit was established, also for the first time in Lebanon. The work of school psychologists was devoted to three concerns: to train teachers one full month before school opening in new methods of teaching and classroom management; to provide individualized counseling and treatment, with supervision of special resource units oriented toward remedial and developmental teaching; to convene a parent-teacher association for a better understanding of home environment;Three languages were required of all: Arabic, French and English.
The school continued to grow and prosper until the beginning of the civil war in Lebanon in 1975. To the regret of the many eminent graduates who had witnessed its innovative spirit and methodology, it was then closed , and its faculty dispersed with no expectation for resuming .

Why does USA see Hezbollah as Terrorists and not as the defenders of Lebanon which they are?
Answer 1
Because the policy of USA is hijacked by Zionists and Zionists hate Shia Islam too much and so being terrorist is only an excuse to destroy Shia Islam in the world. Hezbollah is not seeking power in Lebanon and is a good group and not aggressive but defensive.
Answer 2
The question as written makes a major assumption about the nature of Hezbollah, namely that it is a defender of the Lebanese people. While this is certainly a message that Hezbollah espouses, it is quite incorrect.
Hezbollah is a belligerent militant organization whose primary goal is to create a Shiite Theocracy in Lebanon. There are vast numbers of Lebanese who would be directly harmed or threatened should such an eventuality occur, namely Maronite Christians, Sunni Muslims, and other minorities, who would lose rights or station. Secondly, and more importantly, Hezbollah does not actually secure any benefits for the Lebanese people in terms of protecting them from foreign enemies. Hezbollah killed numerous Lebanese people in the Lebanese Civil War while fighting alongside the Syrian Army. They also fired the first shots in the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah War by kidnapping two Israeli soldiers. During that war, Hezbollah further increased civilian casualties by drawing Israeli soldiers into small villages, resulting in a high level of urban warfare and a high level of civilian casualties. Blame for this direction of the war also lies squarely at Hezbollah's feet. Finally, Hezbollah opposes the will of the Lebanese people. In 2009, when Hezbollah did not form part of the Lebanese Government (instead being part of the Opposition), they brought tanks into Central Beirut and demanded concessions. This violates the principles of democracy that the Lebanese people have agreed to follow and is directly opposed to their wishes.
Hezbollah endangers civilians, has a violent ideology, and discusses the murder of foreign civilians almost daily. That in combination with its thousands of soldiers and its use of violence to terrorize its enemies, has resulted in the USA and many European countries' quite reasonable naming of Hezbollah as a terrorist militant organization.

This problem with Lebanon is that no person is unique or individual in any way. They ALL have the exact same belief, and that is that a nine armed dinosaur demigod "...will be resurrected on the 22nd of September, 2097, and feast upon the weak fools who sought not protection from the almighty one, but rather sought to appease their own false Gods." - Book of Cth'ulu, Maxi 9:13.

What are some differences between Lebanese and Syrian cuisines?
I am Syrian and I think that they are very similar. Differences are based on cities rather than region and tend to be the spices used and small details which sometimes have a big impact on the taste.
