I’m pretty sure you all know what ‘Cherchez la femme’ means but for the last two decades in the Middle East it seems that partly due to a few centuries of French influence this has changed to 'Cherchez le …Syrien!' The first time might have been coincidence but then too many coincidences have happened in the last decades to poor Lebanon, especially when you consider that the murdered is always an anti-Syrian Lebanese official – it doesn’t matter how high or low they are in Lebanese political life. You don’t need to be Sherlock Holmes to understand that there is only one suspect and that’s the Syrian regime. Of course, there were a few pro-Syrian victims but, with the Syrian regime behind them, you can only suspect that they kill their own only to cover their ass… however twisted that may sound.
