From 2004 until 2009, Ayed was the CBC's Beirut correspondent, covering events throughout the Middle East region, including the 2006 Lebanon War and the Gaza War. Nahlah has also covered the Iran presidential elections and is now based in Toronto, regularly covering international stories, most recently the Middle East pro-democracy movement.
Having seen and reported on so much of the Middle Eastern turmoil Nahlah is someone who could be classed as brains observing those who have "Guns for Brains"...However, that would be an understatement...
Brains in themselves are guns as guns bring about change. Brains bring about change slowly, or at the very least change peoples views of the violence that guns bring.
Observing violence, reporting on that violence, and now writing a book about that violence from a lifetime of experience qualifies this lady as having guns on the brain but not for brains. A very distinct and crucial difference...Now if only those who have guns for brains knew how to read....imagine the possibilities...
(Ignorance is bliss - to those who lead people who have guns for brains...)
