Hello,

I have to comment on these statistics. Well I am Lebanese and I passed on
9th of Oct where Lebanon had 17 CCIE. They updated the statistics on
10/10/2008 and it shows that Lebanon still has 17. So this does not really
reflect the true numbers my profile shows am in the states because i am
currently here for interchip with cisco so that they can ship the
certificate to my place. I know many different nationalities with this
status. So its not pretty accurate.
