AlterNet: The French Connection
France, at least since Iraq, has not been Amerika;s favourite country. Hence the re-naming of French Fries to Freedom Fries! Nonetheless, given that Bush is renowned for refusing to talk to anyone he doesn't like or agree with, the co-operation of the two powers in eventually brokering the Lebanon ceasefire deal shows that some in the White House have finally responded to that very basic human request - communication.
The above piece at AlterNet looks at how France may be crucial in sorting out the Middle East mess, given that Britain has abdicated the last vestiges of impartiality. Whther they can influence Amerika's longer-term agenda is, of course, another matter entirely.
Later.
