Am I the only one noticing Middle East leaders dropping like flies?
One hates to be suspicious, but Kuwait, Israel, and (was it Pakistan?) -- the guy who got assassinated not that long ago?

So, is it "old age" as in, just a "normal" changing of the guard? Or, do folks who know "too much" or "aren't supportive" biting the big one with a little "help"?

On a positive note, if its a BFEE scheme, one can be confident it will backfire. Sigh....

1. All of the above?
The only thing I don't understand is why no one in the Bush family or administration ever dies? Are they all vampires or are they just not humans?

3. Well,
Sharon was old. Much older than he looked, actually. As for Pakistan, it's not in the middle east and Musharraf is still alive. I'm not entirely sure about Kuwait, but it's still the same family regardless of whatever particular prince is in charge at the moment.

4. Don't forget Arafat and King Faud
The cause of the Palestinian leader's death has never been determined, while the other died after he was in a near-vegetative state for six years or seven years.

Go figure.
