Ghazi bites the bullet.

The Weasel is strangely attracted to countries with a long history of bombings, is it perhaps a flirt with danger or simply a coincidence, who knows?

Either way Lebanon is favorite destination, the combination of scenery, history, beach, skiing and partying (obviously inverse order) is pretty irresistible. Couple that with some of the best looking people on earth and frankly it beats the pants off the rest of the Middle East.

Well it would if they could just stop blowing each other up..

So it is with interest that we see today that Ghazi Kanaan met with an unfortunate accident. As to who pulled the trigger well that's another thing altogether.

Now I'm no Syrian political expert but it always felt to a casual observer that the Hariri bombing might be representative of a movement to oust Syrian supreamo Assad. But it would appear that young Bashar may have inherited some of his father's ruthlessness and Kanaan who so long lived by the bullet ended up dying by it.

There may even be a moral there.

So the weasel will be returning to the snow and maybe to a slightly more stable Lebanon this year.
One of the best ski secrets in the World, here's a little taste
