I can't believe that the LA Times would print a story about this crook and charlatan

"Hayek admits that not all of his predictions come true, but his visions have proved right often enough to win him a huge following around the Arab world."  Come true? What came true? Yes, a year before Hariri was assassinated he had predicted that "something would happen in Beirut."  Wow.  How impressive and precise that was.  Give me a break.  But Lebanonese culture suffers from an acute case of obsession with fortune tellers and astrologists.
