We mentioned the arrest of Saddam's son in law earlier. Meanwhile, giving UN aid to the Iraqis seems like a good idea. Other than that, not much making news tonight, but let's see what the French have to say:French news headlines:
Le Monde: Iraq: The American Administration Sets Up.
Le Figaro: Pneumonia Epidemic Out of Control in China.
Libération: Sarkozy Gives Lesson in Republicanism. The Interior Minister was widely applauded as he opened the first Islamic conference sponsored by the French government. Then he announced that religious concerns aside, Muslim women would have to remove their veils for the photos for the IDs. Things went downhill after.
Ouest-France: Christians Nervous, Shiites Reassured. Because Saddam's insistence on order led to the protection of Christians as one of the things necessary for keeping the Shiites in line. And now? One more reason the US will have to stay a while.
