Well Dan, since you asked. I heard this point discussed recently, I believe on Al Jazeera. It seems hair dye is de rigeur for tyrants of all stripes, Joe Stalin a notable exception. And it's not just Arabs either. Think Berlusconi. Think Reagan. Think Kim Jung Il. Think Mao and Ferdinand Marcos. It seems when a despot goes grey, he's pretty much on his way out the door. There, hope that helps.

One could ad the moustache brothers, Adolph Hitler and Robert Mugabe to the list. Mr. Mugabe turns 87 today or the day after today, depending on where you at, and his hair is as black as it was when he was elected over two decades ago.
The current exception to the rule is Cuba's Fidel Castro.
Perhaps there is something in the hair dye that drives them crayzee?

That would help to explain Flaherty's budgets
