Suspicions

Some sceptics, on the other hand, are suggesting that the interior minister decided to end his life because he knew he would be implicated when the results of the inquiry into Mr Hariri's death were published later this month.

Critics and opponents of the Syrian government go even further.

Mr Kanaan was killed, they say, in order that the blame for the assassination of the Lebanese prime minister could be pinned on him alone.

President Assad faces a monumental challenge in keeping his regime together under these various pressures - and in the unwelcome spotlight of international attention

They back their argument by pointing out the manner in which the news was released - the time, place and circumstances of his death, encapsulated in an uncharacteristically speedy and informative bulletin from the state news agency.

In the end, it matters little which version one chooses to believe.

The real damage is the fact that a very senior member of the Damascus regime, a man who for two decades orchestrated Syria's policies in Lebanon, has gone.

In his post as interior minister, Kanaan symbolized the awesome power of Syria's security and intelligence apparatus.

His untimely death demonstrates a previously unimaginable vulnerability in that apparatus.

If the US attacks Syria due to budget limitations I think the war will be hawked to CNN or FOX as the MCI/Sprint and Burger King war of liberation.

Really? I thought that Walmart already bought up the rights to the next war?
