"Shock and awe..."

Vogue has done a profile of Syria's First Lady, Asma al-Assad. It says she is "glamorous, young and very chic - the freshest and most magnetic of first ladies. Her style is not the couture-and-bling dazzle of Middle Eastern power but of deliberate lack of adornment. She's a rare combination: a thin, long-limbed beauty with a trained analytic mind who dresses with cunning understatement." Hmmm... isn't Syria where many sources say the weapons of mass destruction went when they were no longer found in Iraq???
