Here come your French news headlines:Le Monde: Iraq in background of Arab summit. The leaders assert they will neither aid nor support any attack or attempt to deal with Saddam.
News from the Czech Republic: Vaclav Klaus succeeds Vaclav Havel. He is a liberal former prime minister (remember that liberal is different in Europe than in the US).
Le Figaro: France renews ties with Algeria. Chirac will spend three days there; it's the first visit by a French president since Algerian independance in 1962. The Algerian president visited France in 2000. I imagine security arrangements will be pretty tight for the visit.
Libé: A yes "in principle" to missile destruction / The US speaks of "trickery" and maintains its war-leaning line. / Russia threatens to use its Security Council veto. That sort of explains itself. But check out this interview with a Moroccan sociologist - "Saddam the hero is no longer the reality.":
Dans nombre de débats, personne ne soulève le problème Saddam, mais tout le monde parle du nouvel ordre international, de l'hégémonie américaine, du face-à-face Europe-Amérique. Comme si le monde arabe se retrouvait maintenant derrière le duo franco-allemand, et que le héros arabe, c'était plutôt Chirac... / In many debates, no one brings up the problem with Saddam, but everyone is talking about the new international order, about American hegemony and the Europe-America face off. As if the Arab world now had found itself behind the Franco-German duo and the Arab hero was Chirac...Très intéressant, hein?
