Explosion hits Beirut

BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) -- An investigation has begun into a powerful explosion that rocked a Christian area of Beirut Friday night, hours after U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice paid a surprise visit.

If this were an episode of Scooby Doo, you know Velma or Freddy would start to eventually wonder why bombs always seem to go off whenever Condi comes to town. Then they'd chase down Rice, cleverly disguised as a respectable diplomat, thru a maze of rubble strewn streets to the background tunes of some mid-70s power-pop love ballad before Shaggy knocks her over with a janitor's cart that he's riding in.


"And I'd've gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids. Draft their asses, Rummy!
